Champagne jeeper grande reserve blanc de blancs is a highly refined wine, produced with chardonnay grapes from eleven of the finest vineyards in the montagne de reims, côte des blancs, and pays de vitryat. After fermentation, 40% of the base wine is aged in oak barrels for two years before being further aged on the lees for five years. In the glass, the wine reveals a pale golden color, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. Its aromatic profile is lively and expressive, with notes of citrus and white fruit followed by mineral and honey hints. On the palate, it has a creamy texture. It is fruity and balanced, with a pronounced citrus acidity that refreshes the palate and continues on the long finish. It is a wine with a strong aromatic character that makes an excellent aperitif but also pairs well with food, especially fish and seafood.
