Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
Le Mesnil-sur-Oger is the named origin for these wines. In Champagne, Grand Cru identifies a classified village origin, while Blanc de Blancs identifies Champagne made from white grapes. Les Chétillons joins that origin to a single vineyard, and Brut Nature identifies the dosage category.
Wines to know
The range in view
The range includes a flagship Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Nature and Les Chétillons, the single vineyard selection. An earlier vintage carries the same Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Nature style. Blanc de Blancs names Champagne made from white grapes, while Brut Nature means no added sugar at dosage, leaving the finished wine dry.
