Champagne Suenen Oiry Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru La Cocluette

From the Grand Cru village of Oiry, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, Aurélien Suenen crafts this single-parcel Champagne from La Cocluette, a chalk-rich vineyard that captures the site's tension and precision. Farmed organically and handpicked, the fruit is pressed in small lots, with fermentation and ageing in neutral oak barrels to preserve both clarity and depth. The wine rests on lees for several years before disgorgement with minimal dosage, allowing the vineyard character to speak clearly.

Each vintage of Suenen's Oiry Blanc de Blancs shows the purity of Chardonnay grown on pure chalk: aromas of citrus zest, crushed shell and white flowers lead to a palate of taut mineral focus and fine chalky texture. It's a Champagne of drive and purpose, balancing energy with quiet depth, a benchmark expression of Grand Cru Oiry and the thoughtful precision of Suenen's approach.
