- Description
- Jean Velut's Blanc de Blancs is a champagne born from necessity—when the family lost their farmland near Troyes in the 1960s, they replanted in Champagne and built a sustainable vineyard now spanning seven and a half hectares. The nose offers lifted aromas of lemongrass, green almonds, brioche and white flowers, with a charming character reminiscent of Chablis but with gentle bubbles. The palate is crisp and mineral-driven, balancing acidity with delicate fruit sweetness. Serve this with roasted langostines or as an aperitif that rewards slow sipping.
