South of the Côte des Blancs, the Côte de Sézanne also focuses on Chardonnay. Its blanc de blancs tend to be softer and rounder than those from the villages farther north. Bethon, Villenauxe-la-Grande, Broyes and Allemant are listed within the area. Le Brun de Neuville is closely associated with the Côte de Sézanne. It is a place to look for rounder Chardonnay, blanc de blancs value and local growers.
