Tasting note The Grand Blanc is exclusively blended from Chardonnay grapes from the best growths of the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, including some white Clos des Goisses.

While possessing vinosity and a creamy texture, it is true to the lightness and finesse of a great Blanc de Blanc. Food pairing note A superb aperitif or wonderful companion to all seafood.
