Coessens Largillier Blanc de Noirs

The maxim that “the best wines are born in the vineyard” is inexorable, and it was no coincidence that Largillier, Jérôme Coessens’ iconic vineyard, was chosen to feed one of the most sought-after “cult wines” in the world, Guillaume Selosse’s Champagne. Our Coessens is a small grower from the Côte des Bar, in the south of Champagne, exclusively dedicated to Pinot Noir planted in Largillier, where the family has been around for more than 5 generations, and which shares the same limestone soil profile from the Kimmeridgian period found in the best grand crus of Chablis.

Description

Produced exclusively from the “Largillier” monopole plot, this Blanc de Noirs represents the purest expression of Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bar. The soil rich in calcareous clay and the ideal exposure of the vineyards allow Coessens Largillier to reveal a deeply mineral and elegant profile.

On the nose, it reveals notes of raspberry, grapefruit peel, delicate spices and a touch of saline. On the palate, it has a precise and vibrant structure, with a creamy mousse and a citric acidity that prolongs the salivating finish. A champagne that combines complexity and freshness with great class.
