Champagne De Venoge - Grand Vin des Princes Blanc de Blancs 2015 avec étui

Led by the duo of Gilles de la Basselière as director and Isabelle Tellier as cellar master, De Venoge has been part of the BCC Group since 1998. The lineup is divided into two main categories: the Cordon Bleu cuvées—which are accessible and available in several varieties, including an always impeccable Blanc de Noirs—and the Prince cuvées, instantly recognizable by their spectacular bottles. The wines in this range, always deep and full-bodied, have gained in aromatic brilliance and, above all, in freshness, and are well worth discovering, especially with a meal.

This champagne house owes its existence to a Swiss citizen from the canton of Vaud, a wine-growing region of Switzerland. Henri-Marc de Venoge founded the company in 1837. His son expanded it internationally and launched special cuvées. In 1864, labels featuring the iconic blue ribbon—reminiscent of a decoration from the days of the monarchy—made their debut. Since 1998, the company has been owned by the BCC Group (which became Lanson-BCC in 2010). Isabelle Tellier heads the house.

Made entirely from Chardonnay grapes sourced from the villages of Mesnil-sur-Oger, Trépail, and Vertus, the 2015 Cuvée des Princes Blanc de Blancs reveals aromas of candied lemon, spring flowers, honey, acacia blossoms, and spices, interwoven with delicate pastry notes. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, round, charming, and enveloping, it offers beautiful depth on the palate and a long, ethereal, and ripe finish with notes of orchard fruits.
