A sun‑lit Blanc de Blancs whose minerality delivers a fresh, multi‑layered experience for both celebrations and everyday moments.
Silex & Craie refers to two soil elements—flint and chalk—which are characteristic of the Fontaine‑Denis‑Nuisy area and give the wine its distinctive minerality.
A Blanc de Blancs Champagne made from 100% Chardonnay. The wine comes from the northern vineyards of Fontaine‑Denis‑Nuisy. The region’s chalk‑ and flint‑rich soils bring freshness, structure, salinity and a long, persistent finish.
The grapes are hand‑harvested and gently pressed, after which the wine ferments in both stainless‑steel tanks and French oak barrels. Around 50–70% of the wine ferments and ages in oak, adding texture and depth. The wine matures for 50 months on the lees, developing brioche notes and layered aromatics. The dosage is just 1 g/l, resulting in a very dry/extra brut style.
Silex & Craie is a gastronomic Champagne, yet it also works beautifully as an aperitif when you want to awaken the appetite. It shows its best alongside seafood, white meats, hearty salads and spiced vegetable dishes. Try it with asparagus risotto, salmon ceviche, grilled sea bass or a chicken Caesar salad.
