Taste: In the glass, the wine shows pale gold with a persistent, fine bead. The nose opens with orchard fruit of pear, apple, and yellow plum, layered with citrus zest, hawthorn, and a subtle flinty smokiness. On the palate, it is both generous and precise, with ripe stone fruit and citrus carried on a creamy mid-palate, balanced by taut acidity and a chalky, saline backbone.
Pairing: This Blanc de Blancs pairs well with foods that balance richness against freshness, where mineral detail can cut through texture. Think of foods that highlight seafood, shellfish, and lighter meats. Lean on herbal or citrus components, and avoid overly sweet dishes.
About: Champagne J. Vignier is based in the grand cru village of Cramant, where Nathalie Vignier represents the tenth generation of her family to work in viticulture. The Vignier lineage dates back to 1530, with roots in both Bars-sur-Seine and the Côte des Blancs.
