In the heart of Bouzy, one of Champagne's elite Grand Cru villages where Pinot Noir reigns supreme, Jean Vesselle crafts the extraordinary “B3” (Blanc de Blancs de Bouzy)—a 100% Chardonnay rarity born from just ~1 hectare of meticulously farmed vines. With fewer than 90 cases (1,000 bottles total) produced for the world, this Brut Nature reflects the estate's organic-leaning practices: hand-harvested grapes fermented on native yeasts in used oak, followed by six years of lees aging in subterranean chalk cellars before disgorgement without dosage, leaving ~2.5g/L natural residual sugar.

The Vesselle family, rooted in Bouzy's storied terroir, pours tireless vineyard devotion into every cuvée, making “B3” a testament to subtle power from a Pinot-dominated village. Released after extended aging (likely late 2019–early 2020 disgorgement), this 2015 vintage leans bold and muscular among Blanc de Blancs, offering chiseled minerality, expansive breadth, and a supple mouthfeel that rewards cellaring through 2030.

Why You'll Love it:

• Sublime breadth and subtle power. Layered aromas of sliced pear, yellow apple, crushed white rock, salt-preserved lemon, dried white flowers, honeysuckle, oyster shell, and faint nuttiness explode into a textured palate.

• Supreme minerality and soaring acidity. Effortlessly cuts through rich foods while delivering age-worthy structure from Bouzy's rare Chardonnay sites.

• Cult rarity at cellar value: under 90 cases worldwide means unmatched bragging rights for savvy collectors.

• Zero dosage Brilliance: ~2.5g/L natural RS balances the chalk-driven tension without heaviness

How To Serve It:

• Serve at 50–55°F in a larger, wide-bowled stemware to highlight its muscular side—avoid flute-style narrowing.

• Optional gentle decant. Ideal now through next 5 years, pairing with roast chicken, pork loin, or soft French cheeses..
