Gaston Chiquet is producing several Special Club bottlings now, with village-specific bottlings that are not done every year, and the 2017 Champagne Grand Cru Special Club Vazelle Brut is a parcel selection that™s only produced when it can be blended to 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. I love this wine, which is very pretty and very fresh, with notes of ripe pineapple, pastry cream, fresh hazelnut, and pastry. With a ripe, silky, supple texture of glycerin and citrus oil, it has a touch more decadence and is an exceptional wine from this estate to be enjoyed over the long haul. It’s wild to have this kind of clarity without high alcohol, and I would be just thrilled to drink this one. Only about 3,000 bottles were produced. 3 grams per liter dosage.

Varietal

Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Region

Champagne

The beautiful rolling hillsides of the Champagne region of France have, for hundreds of years, been producing many of the world's most famous wines. The sparkling white wines to come out of Champagne's prestigious wineries have conquered the world, and are drank in celebration across the globe. The vast majority of the region is under vine, and grows predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals, which are usually blended together by master wine-makers in order to make their recognizable and widely loved produce. The north-easterly region of Champagne has a relatively cool climate, and quite a lot of rainfall, making it far from ideal for ripening grapes. However, the presence of heavily forested areas in the region helps maintain a balanced temperature, and the generations of expertise the wineries hold clearly produces excellent results in spite of the climatic problems.
