Juillet-Lallement Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV is a pure Chardonnay Champagne from a small grower based in Grand Cru terroir, crafted in a taut, mineral-driven style. This non-vintage cuvée blends reserve wines with a recent base year, highlighting chalky soils, fine acidity and a restrained, elegant expression of Blanc de Blancs.

Appearance:

Pale straw with green reflections and a fine, continuous bead. The mousse is delicate and creamy, forming a neat, persistent crown at the rim.

Aroma:

Fresh and lifted, with notes of lemon zest, green apple and crisp pear. Underneath the primary fruit sit nuances of white flowers, chalk dust, and a hint of saline breeze. With air, subtle autolytic tones of brioche, almond cream and a touch of pastry emerge, adding polish and complexity.

Taste:

Dry, linear and precise, driven by vibrant citrus and orchard fruits—lime, lemon, and crunchy apple. The texture is refined, with a silky yet energetic mousse. A pronounced chalky minerality runs through the palate, complemented by gentle notes of biscuit, toasted almond and a whisper of white peach, giving both finesse and depth without heaviness.

Finish:

Long and clean, marked by citrus peel, crushed stone and a faintly saline, mouthwatering snap. The Brut dosage provides just enough cushioning around the acidity while keeping the overall impression very fresh, focused and gastronomic.

Food Pairing:

A classic partner for oysters, prawns and delicate shellfish platters. Excellent with sashimi, tempura prawns, or lightly grilled fish with lemon and herbs. It also pairs beautifully with goat’s cheese, young Comté, or a simple leek and Gruyère tart, where its acidity and minerality cut through richness.
