Tasting notes
Based on the 2011 vintage and disgorged in February 2021, the NV Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs offers up aromas of honeyed orchard fruit and buttery pastry. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a fleshy core of fruit and chalky grip that's balanced by the wine's seven grams per liter dosage.

Wild aromas of rust, rhubarb and light lemon curd follow through to a full body that is compact and creamy. Extremely long and flavorful with a tangy and savory finish. Drink now.
Ambonnay. Appetising and something about it on the nose reminds me of the chemistry lab, in a not totally unpleasant way – sulphur, that’s it! Coarse bubbles. Well, it fizzes... (JR)
The Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay is a rich, weighty Champagne bursting with generous fruit. A creamy, expansive wine, the Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay blossoms on the palate with a broad, generous expression of Chardonnay fruit. A long, persistent finish rounds out this bold, utterly delicious wine that captures the essence of the large-scaled, weighty wines of Ambonnay. This is Lot BL04807, disgorged: February, 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. Soutiran is a small producer based in Ambonnay who has been bottling his own Champagnes since 1970. At their best, the wines possess impeccable pedigree and tons of class. Importer: Vintage 59 Imports, Washington DC; tel. (202) 966-9218
