Sensory Description:
A wine of structure and elegance, this Brut Nature opens with a vivid bouquet of crushed limestone, toasted hazelnut, and orchard blossom. On the palate, Pinot Noir drives the core with commanding depth, while Pinot Blanc Vrai weaves a silky texture and quiet complexity. Chardonnay lends energy and lift with hints of lemon curd, buttered brioche, and saline minerality. The finish is long, savory, and exceptionally clean, underscoring the wine’s nine-year lees aging with a whisper of chalk and spice.
Winemaker's Background:
The Carreau family has cultivated vines in Celles-sur-Ource since the 16th century, yet it wasn’t until 1990 that Lionel Carreau launched a commercial Champagne house under his name. His daughter Oriane, after a successful international career, returned home to craft her wines under the Dame de Carreau label. Her vision emphasizes exceptional fruit from organically farmed vineyards and a fiercely low-intervention style that honors the region’s deep-rooted viticultural traditions. With each release, she brings new vitality to the Côte des Bar’s grower Champagne movement.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve chilled at 45–48°F in a tulip or white wine glass to highlight its intricate aromatics and textured mousse. Ideal alongside oysters, aged Comté, or roast chicken with morel cream. Its mineral finish and bracing purity also make it an excellent partner for sashimi, tartare, or root vegetable dishes.
This singular cuvée delivers a deeply expressive portrait of Champagne’s southern terroir. 2015 Dame de Carreau Cuvée Batarde Brut Nature Millésime, Champagne, France, stands as both a celebration of vintage character and a declaration of Oriane Carreau’s refined and visionary approach to sparkling wine.
