Champagne Tsarine - Blanc de Blancs Brut
92/100
Wine Enthusiast
“The Chardonnay, sourced primarily from the Côte des Blancs, lends this Champagne a typically mineral and crisp character. A bottle that will continue to develop with further aging.” (Wine Enthusiast 2022) With great precision and finesse, these fine bubbles express themselves with liveliness on a silky palate, leading to a subtly spicy and salty finish.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Tsarine is a brand developed by Chanoine Frères, a subsidiary of the BCC Group. It has grown alongside the film industry. The wines crafted by Isabelle Tellier, the cellar master, focus primarily on the balance of the three Champagne grape varieties; they are characterized by a tender youthfulness as well as a refined, fruity, and floral profile. We note a certain progression in the cuvées we tasted this year.

About the estate:
As early as 1730, the Chanoine brothers began digging their cellars in Épernay. Their house, the oldest after Ruinart, fell into obscurity after the war, before being revived through its integration into the group now known as Lanson-BCC (1991), which provided it with a vast, modern, above-ground cellar in Reims. It created the Tsarine brand in memory of Catherine II, a great lover of champagne. Since 2001, Isabelle Tellier has been at the helm of the house.
