Champagne Waris Hubert Albescent Blanc de Blancs Brut

Champagne Waris Hubert is a vivacious, elegant Blanc de Blancs Brut, with minimal dosage, that expresses beautiful green apple and lemon characteristics, swirled around chalky mineral and yeast undertones. The aromas feature a bouquet of acacia flowers, citrus, ripe wheat, taosted almonds, glazed apple, and persimmons. The textural journey of this Champagne features a light tartness playfully intertwining around the mousse of effervescence: it's a tension of crystalline zest with notes of salted almond, crushed oyster shells, and earthy wheat. This is a sparkling wine of character and vibrancy and it is a delight to enjoy. As a non-vintage Champagne, this was blended with the 2017 and 2018 vintages, and the base vintage is 2020. Fermented in 20% barrel and 80% in stainless steel.

Food Pairing: hasselback potatoes topped with caviar, raw oysters, ceviche, pan-seared white fish, mushroom risotto, ricotta-based dishes, elegant chicken dishes.

The fourth-generation growers and winemakers, Stéphanie and Olivier Waris farm 11 hectares across the Cotes des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, and Cotes des Bar–all featuring different terroir that builds unique range and depth in the wines. They farm with biodynamic practices, and their Grand Cru parcels are tended with a horse-drawn plow to gently maintain the connection between the vines and the chalk-laden soil. Low dosage is a standard practice to allow the characteristics of the grapes and wines shine.
