Three grapes blended or solo: fleshy Pinot Noir (38%), fruity Meunier (33%), chiselled Chardonnay (28%). From straight Blanc de Blancs to vinous Blanc de Noirs, from non-vintage Brut to age-worthy Millésimé. AOC since 1927, 34,300 ha on chalk, 17 Grands Crus and 44 Premiers Crus.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
