2018 Champagne Chapuy Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru

Champagne Chapuy is a family-run estate rooted in the prestigious Grand Cru village of Oger, at the heart of the Côte des Blancs—a region revered for its pure, elegant Chardonnay. The Chapuy lineage in Oger goes back more than 250 years to the French Revolution, with the family originally serving as grape growers and the village's mayor among their ancestors. While the family’s vine-growing tradition is centuries old, it was only in 1952 that Serge Chapuy began selling Champagne under their own name, marking the official founding of the house. Today, the estate is managed by Elodie and Aurore Chapuy, who uphold both legacy and a commitment to sustainable viticulture, demonstrated by their High Environmental Value (HVE) certification, achieved through biodiversity promotion and the avoidance of herbicides.

The Chapuy Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Millésimé 2018 captures the clarity and poise of Oger Chardonnay, balancing ripe vintage fruit with the chalky, saline precision that defines the Côte des Blancs. Energetic yet refined, it offers layered citrus, white flowers, and a mineral backbone, with the kind of tension and finesse that make Grand Cru blanc de blancs so compelling. Sustainably farmed and family crafted, it is a wine of both place and purpose, built for immediate pleasure and graceful aging.

Why You'll Love It

  • Pure expression of Grand Cru Oger Chardonnay with a pronounced chalky minerality and racy edge.

  • Crafted with a focus on freshness: low dosage, long lees aging, and a blend of reserve and base wines for complexity.

  • Sustainably farmed and family-operated, ensuring both character and conscientious stewardship of terroir.

How to Serve It

  • Chill to 46-50°F to highlight its vibrancy and aromatic nuance.

  • Pair with oysters, shellfish, sushi, or fresh goat cheese for maximum synergy with its saline and citrusy profile.

  • Serve in a tulip or white wine glass (not a flute) to allow aromas and texture to blossom.
