Premier cru Blanc de Noirs. Bright coppery gold with white mousse. White cherry and red apple on the inviting nose. Echoed on the medium palate adding toasted brioche and baked pear. Firm acidity (of course) and a lingering charred apple finish. Wonderful Blanc de Noirs! Classic with white meat stews, firm white fish, and other white wine fare. Much better buy than their “Ace of Spades” label. — 4 years ago
Very good. More depth. Pinot meunier gave it more flavor. — 6 years ago
Champagne Cattier – Cuvée Brut Premier Cru N/V
Reims, Champagne – France 🇫🇷
Overview
A Premier Cru blend dominated by 40% Pinot Noir, followed by 32% Chardonnay and 28% Meunier, sourced primarily from the villages of Ludes, Chigny-les-Roses, and Rilly-la-Montagne. A house Champagne that embodies Cattier’s signature style, crafted with 41% reserve wines and aged well beyond the minimum 3 years, showcasing both tradition and depth.
Aromas & Flavors
Lively and elegant, the nose opens with ripe plum, white flowers, and acacia, accented by subtle biscuit notes. On the palate, a mouth-coating wave of brioche and beeswax meets bright lime peel, balanced by a refreshing acidity. The finish lingers gracefully with a nutty undertone and a whisper of chalk.
Mouthfeel
Energetic yet refined, with a fine bead and polished mousse. Dosage at 6 g/L keeps it precise, clean, and perfectly balanced between freshness and roundness.
Winemaking Notes
41% reserve wine gives layered complexity and depth, while extended cellar aging elevates the harmony and finesse beyond the standard.
Food Pairing
Perfect with oysters, sashimi, or light seafood starters. Equally delightful alongside soft cheeses or almond-based pastries.
Verdict
A quintessential Cattier expression — fruit-driven, floral, and elegantly textured. Hard to stop at just one glass! Cheers 🥂 — 5 months ago
