Descrizione:
Gaston Chiquet 's Champagne Spécial Club Aÿ interprets Chardonnay with rare elegance in the village of Aÿ, classified as a Grand Cru and historically linked to the great tradition of Pinot Noir. This Blanc de Blancs comes from vineyards located in one of the most emblematic terroirs of the Grande Vallée de la Marne, where exposure, soils, and a long viticultural tradition give rise to profound, complex wines with a strong territorial identity.

This vintage, Millésime 2017 , is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes and is crafted through vinification and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a choice designed to preserve freshness, aromatic clarity, and expressive precision. After tirage, it is aged on the lees for a minimum of six years, enhancing creaminess, depth, and flavor continuity without weighing down the profile. The minimal final dosage, in the Extra Brut style, enhances transparency, mineral tension, and balance.

When tasted, Spécial Club Aÿ 2017 opens with notes of ripe citrus, white flowers, chalk, and subtle nuances of fresh hazelnut, revealing a clear, rigorous, and refined profile. On the palate, it displays energy, finesse, and a subtle texture, supported by a pronounced saline minerality that accompanies a long, vibrant, and profoundly territorial finish.
