Champagne Chassenay d'Arce - Sélection Blanche Brut Blanc de Blancs
Recommandé
Gault & Millau
"A subtle blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc for this new cuvée, in perfect harmony."
The nose offers a lovely bouquet of citrus, apricot, and yellow peach, heralding a tangy and invigorating palate. Then a beautiful generosity sets in, with fine bubbles and a silky texture. The aromas of citrus and white flowers bring a springtime sensation, reminiscent of a morning in the mountains, between melting snow and bright sunshine. The finish remains fresh and mouthwatering, with a touch of mandarin." (Gault & Millau 2026).

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
This brand from the Côte des Bar cooperative winery (which nicely describes itself as a "winemakers' house") in Aube has come a long way and effectively demonstrates the undeniable potential of this "southern" terroir in the Champagne wine region. Apart from the premier cuvée, which remains below the rest of the range, the champagnes have a distinct personality, as evidenced, for example, by the surprising Pinot Blanc.

About the estate:
Founded in 1956, the cooperative now brings together no fewer than 130 winegrowers and covers a total of 315 hectares of vineyards. Overlooking the Arce Valley in the heart of the Côte des Bar, this "winegrowers' house" is housed in a large, characterful 19th-century building. In a terroir where Pinot Noir reigns supreme, the landscape, with its alternating vineyards and forests, promotes biodiversity and allows for an environmentally friendly approach. The range has been expanded with two new certified organic vintages ("Les Authentiques") and a new visitor and tasting area in the estate's cellars, as well as a scenography called "Les Effervescentes" are waiting to be discovered. Of particular note is a vintage Pinot Blanc cuvée, a specialty of the estate.
