Boutillez Vignon — Ostinato Premier Cru

Ostinato Premier Cru

Boutillez Vignon | Brut

Enter the Ostinato from Boutillez Vignon. Anyone familiar with Villers-Marmery knows that Chardonnay often takes center stage here – and this champagne impressively shows just how much rhythm it brings.

The name says it all: "Ostinato" refers to a constantly repeating musical motif. And that motif here is clearly the balance between roasted notes and freshness. On the nose, it's wonderfully inviting with aromas of freshly toasted bread and a hint of cocoa.

On the palate, things get really exciting: blood orange meets a fine salinity and notes of roasted fruits.

The aging in old wood gives the wine a depth that almost reminds you of dark chocolate and a touch of coconut, without losing its lightness.

Tasting Notes

On the nose toasted bread and cocoa, on the palate blood orange with fine salinity and roasted fruits. The barrel aging creates notes of dark chocolate and coconut while maintaining freshness.
