A stunning gift set with 2 x 75cl bottles of Champagne!
Produced in limited quantities, numbered and presented in a Terroirs duo box, this Les Cuvées Nord Et Sud pack explores the impact that the differences in the terroir of the Côte des Blancs has on the finished Champagne. Both from the 2015 vintage, both with the same dosage (5g/l - extra brut) and both aged for 5 years in the cellars of Champagne Mandois, the only difference is the 16 kilometers between Chouilly in the north and almost vertically "below" Vertus in the south. The compass for discovering Champagne!
Chouilly Grand Cru – Le Nord
This champagne comes exclusively from our vines in Chouilly and reflects the exceptional character of this village combined with the hallmark Mandois style.
A light golden hue follows the formation of fine bubbles. The pretty floral nose develops aromas of white fruit and violet.
The palate is very subtle and delicate with light notes of citrus fruit and mirabelle plum. The finish shows the almost infinite length typical of the Grand Cru.
