Vinification

Ligne de Mire is a Blanc de Blancs made entirely from Chardonnay grown on the certified organic plots in Vandières. Chardonnay is less common in the Marne valley than in the Côte des Blancs, and Bastien's version is leaner and more mineral than most. The grapes are pressed and fermented in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation is carried out. No oak is used. The wine was bottled in spring 2023. Dosage: Brut, 4 g/L.

Importer's notes

Ligne de Mire means 'line of sight', and the wine is exactly that: precise, focused, and unfussy. It is sharper and more mineral than you might expect from the Marne valley, and that makes it interesting. This is a good all-purpose dry white Champagne, fine on its own as an aperitif but equally happy with oysters, grilled fish, seafood, or white meats. Serve cold, around 8 to 10°C. Certified organic.
