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.

Vinous Media

The NV Extra-Brut Mélodie en C is a rich, creamy Champagne that beautifully expresses the essence of house style. Lemon confit, chamomile and white flowers are given an extra kick of focus by strands of minerality that are laced throughout. Understated and deceptive in its mid-weight feel, the Melodie en C has quite a bit of punch as well as character.

The nose is quite cool and restrained with its reticent notes of petrol, yeast, lemon rind and a whiff of green apple. The delicious, intense and chiseled middle weight flavors are supported by an exuberant and relatively fine mousse while the lingering finish displays both good acidity and a touch of bitter lemon rind. This could use a bit more depth and there is such good underlying material and balance that this could easily be aged.

Winery Notes

This is a non-vintage blanc de blancs, blended from four different years and sourced exclusively from the Grand Cru villages of Avize, Oger and Cramant where the average vine age is an impressive 40 years.
