In Champagne "Grand Cru" designates the finest vineyard area. "Blanc de Blanc" indicates 100% Chardonnay, the essence of finesse. While the Doyard Champagne concentrates on power and oaky tones, the Claude Genet Blanc de Blanc Grand Cru defines elegance, with aromas that hint and entice rather than shout: pear, apple, citrus fruit, and lightly toasted baguettes. It's whisper-dry and will make a phenomenally fine aperitif, but if you pair it with ceviche, shrimp scampi, or filet of sole you'll experience why Champagne is one of the greatest food-pairing wines.
