Champagne Vintage 1998 Blanc de Blancs

     The Ployez-Jacquemart Champagne house always aims to get the best out of each harvest.

     1998 was one of those crops where the vagaries of nature and a great end to the season allowed us to produce elegant, well-balanced wines.

     The variety and quality of our different Chardonnays from premier and grand cru villages such as Cuis, Cramant, Oger, Mesnil sur Oger, Bisseuil, Tauxières and Ludes allowed us to produce a beautiful vintage Blanc de Blancs (white wine from white grapes) blend.

     Like all our vintages, it matured in our cellars for a minimum of six years with a minimum of four years stacked nose-to-punt. We stack it nose-to-punt to reduce contact with the yeasts while maintaining all the benefits of ageing before disgorgement.

     All of our vintages have recently been disgorged to provide them with even greater freshness.

Tasting
Beautiful bubbles with a golden-green colour ; lovely and fresh.
Floral bouquet with beautiful finesse and delicacy.
Supple, fresh, highly pleasant finish.
Very good final balance for this wine.
