The Champagne region, to the north of Paris, has the most northerly vineyards in France with vines grown on slopes with a southerly exposure to maximise sunlight. The soil is chalky providing an excellent balance of drainage and water retention. The key to the wine is in the cellar where the bubbles result from a second fermentation in the bottle and the rich toasty flavours in great Champagne come from extended bottle ageing on the yeasty lees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease drink responsibly as the UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week. Country of origin is France and storage should be a cool dry climate. Package type is glass which is recyclable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Goerg belongs to one of the few winegrower maison in Champagne founded back in 1950 when 8 families of winegrowers from Vertus decided to join forces. Today representatives from families Collard Faucheret Férat Rogué Grégoire Doquet Gallois and Pougeoise still have the same passion for Champagne and are actively present at the company's board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 100% Chardonnay sourced from the premier cru vineyards around Vertus in the Côte des Blancs is a step up in refinement and complexity and shows off the Goerg group's skill in the cellar. Brilliant pale lemon yellow with a fine persistent mousse. Classical Blanc de Blancs characteristics of citrus orchard fruit and brioche fill the glass. The palate has a satisfying creamy texture with modestly priced options offering length breadth and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe chilled as an appertif and as a great companion to a variety of light meat and seafood dishes fresh oysters or creamy cheeses like Camebert.
