Allouchery-Deguerne — Blanc de Blancs 2023

Blanc de Blancs 2023

Allouchery-Deguerne | Blanc de Blancs | Vintage 2023

Sometimes you just need something light. The Blanc de Blancs from Allouchery-Deguerne is perfect for that.

I expected something very bright, very linear Chardonnay-like. What comes instead is denser, quieter and more supple than expected. 4 g dosage, but almost creamy on the palate. Less "citrus and chalk," more "bright fruits, fine spice, quiet depth."

A Blanc de Blancs that doesn't show that cool, detached precision, but is simply approachable. Calm, clear, pleasant – a champagne for moments when you just want to switch off.

Tasting Notes

Denser and creamier than expected, despite only 4g dosage. Shows bright fruits, fine spice and quiet depth instead of cool citrus-chalk precision.
