Charles Ellner - Carte Blanche Brut Champagne NV

Charles Ellner Description

The House of Ellner possesses about 50 hectares of vineyards, located across more than 15 villages in the Champagne region. The Ellner vineyards produce about 50% of the total grape crop.
None of Charles Ellner’s wines see malolactic fermentation. All are fermented in stainless-steel tanks to preserve fresh fruit flavors (only the Chardonnay blended into the vintage wines spends a few months in giant oak barrels between primary fermentation and bottling). They are then left to sit on their lees for a minimum of 4 years (the law is only 18 months) to allow the wines to soften a bit, fill out, and become beautifully drinkable upon release yet ageable at the same time.

Wine Spectator: 91 Points

Vivid lemon peel acidity is a fine foil for the rich hints of marzipan, baked pear and almond skin in this well-balanced and creamy Champagne. Smoke and saline notes linger on the lightly mouthwatering finish.
