Champagne Paul Berthelot Blanc de Blancs Brut Premier Cru NV (Magnum 1.5L) The Vesselle Balloon has burst! Time for Blanc de Blancs...

Domaine Paul Berthelot dates back to the 1940s, in the village of Dizy, near Epernay. Five generations have followed the traditions laid down by founder Emile Berthelot – producing a small portfolio that has delighted us for years. The Domaine has 16 hectares spread across three vineyards: Dizy and Avenay – both classified Premier Cru, as well as Aÿ – which is classified Grand Cru. Pinot noir and chardonnay reign supreme here, with smaller amounts of pinot meunier planted, too. 

This magnum of sheer bubbly delight is, of course, 100% chardonnay. Taut, precise, and abounding with sharp mineral-driven edges… this is an ideal match for oysters, sushi, and lighter seafood fare. The aromas swell with lemon, grapefruit, and tart cherries over time in the glass, and the flavors add impeccably balanced notes of bread dough, gunflint, crushed rocks, raspberries, and pie crust. Definitely on the zippy side of the Champagne spectrum, this is energetic bordering on electric – sending a noticeable tingle straight down your spine. We love bubbles like this – so fresh and laser-focused – just guaranteed to ramp up your New Year’s Eve 2023 party. That’s my plan at least, but truly, this is a blast any time. Just a gnat’s whisker under a full 50% off, this is some rare Blanc de Blancs you can’t find anywhere else… especially in magnum!
