2021 Élise Bougy Les Coullemets Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature Champagne Grand Cru 750ml

2021 Élise Bougy Les Coullemets: Grand Cru Le Mesnil Chalk Mastery

The 2021 Élise Bougy Les Coullemets Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature Champagne Grand Cru 750ml showcases the pure, chiseled tension of Champagne’s greatest Chardonnay terroir. In particular, this micro-cuvée is sourced from the famed single parcel of Les Coullemets in the 100% Grand Cru terroir of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger on pure Campanian chalk. In addition, the classical, high-acid 2021 harvest produced Chardonnay of crystalline transparency, vibrant energy, and piercing mineral drive.

Tasting Notes for 2021 Élise Bougy Les Coullemets

The wine opens with an explosive, hypnotic bouquet of matchstick reduction, roasted hazelnut, Meyer lemon zest, and white flowers. Furthermore, nuanced notes of crisp orchard pear, wet limestone, almond skin, and faint woodsmoke unfurl with breathtaking precision. On the palate, concentrated, textured citrus fruit cuts across the tongue with laser-like focus and mouthwatering mineral energy. Consequently, the finish reverberates with unforgettable saline drive, smoky chalk, and crystalline persistence.

Estate History and Heritage

Élise Bougy has rapidly ascended to cult stardom as one of the most exciting young female vignerons in Champagne. Specifically, she converted her historic family parcels to strict organic and biodynamic viticulture, highlighting unadulterated terroir cut. Moreover, vinification in neutral oak with zero sulfur, zero filtration, and zero dosage (Brut Nature) creates an unfiltered mirror of Le Mesnil chalk.

Today, allocations of Les Coullemets are produced in microscopic quantities that sell out immediately upon release. As a result, this 2021 bottle stands as an essential addition to any serious grower Champagne collection.
