The wine region of Champagne Grand Cru 'Oger'
Grand Cru of the Côte des Blancs (~403 ha, 99. 6% Chardonnay, deep chalky clay soils): exclusive Chardonnay in Blanc de Blancs — dominant minerality structuring the whole and conferring remarkable length, initial citrus and almost graphite mineral notes, a characteristic slightly smoky dimension of Oger, delicate floral notes. Maturation and freshness on deep chalk. Promoted to Grand Cru in 1985.
The wine region of Champagne
World benchmark sparkling wines: fine bubbles, citrusy tension, notes of brioche, toasted almond, white flowers and white-fleshed fruits after ageing on lees. 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: Assemblage (Champagne)
In Champagne, it is the art of blending still wines from different grape varieties (pinot meunier, pinot noir, chardonnay), from different terroirs (villages, areas) and often from different years. The incorporation of older wines, called reserve wines, allows for greater aromatic complexity.
