Hommage à Gaston Burtin, Blanc de Blancs 2018

This champagne is only made in truly excellent years, and 2018 was one of them. The grapes come from 20 villages, including three Premier Cru municipalities (Villedommange, Bisseuil, and Grauves). The mild, dry late summer of 2018 resulted in healthy, aromatic grapes and an early harvest in August.

Aroma
Citrus and white flowers, with a hint of fresh almond. Subtle and fresh.

Taste
Peach, grapefruit, and some exotic fruit. The bubbles are fine and soft. A slightly salty, savory undertone (umami) gives body and ensures a long finish without being heavy.

Production
Made 100% from Chardonnay. More than four years of aging on the lees gives the wine its creamy texture and bread-like character. Dosage of 8 g/l, keeping the wine dry.

Serving
Pour at 8 to 10 degrees in a slightly wider glass, not a narrow flute.

Pairs well with

  • Raw fish or sashimi: the fresh citrus acidity cuts through the fattiness of the fish and keeps your palate fresh.
  • Scallops: the sweet, creamy texture of the scallops complements the umami and creaminess of the champagne.
  • Vitello tonnato: the salty tuna sauce harmonizes with the wine's savory undertone.

Maison Burtin is een Champagnehuis in Epernay, opgericht in 1933 door Gaston Burtin in het historische Château des Archers. Zijn beste cuvées hield hij decennialang binnen een select, privé kringetje; pas sinds 2022 zijn ze publiekelijk te krijgen, onder de naam Hommage à Gaston Burtin.

Champagne is een methode voordat het een smaak is: een tweede gisting in de fles die het koolzuur vastlegt. Wat de fles daarna karakteriseert, is de assemblage van druiven, dorpen en oogstjaren die de chef de cave maakt.
