Champagne Suenen C+C Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut comes from the Grand Cru vineyards of Cramant and Chouilly, two villages that lend their initials—and character—to this cuvée. Crafted entirely from Chardonnay vines over 40 years old, this wine captures the essence of the Côte des Blancs. On the nose, there are aromas of yellow apple peel, wax, dried wheat, and ocean air. The palate brings a salty, mineral-driven experience with flavors like salted apple, wet oyster shell, and chalk. The wine’s texture is slender, with an earthy, oceanic depth that emphasizes its connection to the land. Fruit takes a supporting role, letting the terroir express itself fully. The base vintage is 2020, and there's a delicate mousse that adds to the experience. This is a Champagne for those who appreciate wines that speak directly of their origin, unembellished and pure.
Champagne Suenen was established in 1905 in the Grand Cru village of Cramant, within the prestigious Côte des Blancs. The origins of the estate date back even further to 1868, when the foundation for what would become Champagne Suenen was laid. Generations of dedicated winemakers have contributed to its development, building a legacy that is now carried forward by Aurélien Suenen. Aurélien’s approach to Champagne Suenen is rooted in both tradition and innovation. He aims to craft wines that are a true reflection of the terroir—wines that embody the unique features of the chalky soils of Cramant. His commitment to creating a natural and expressive Champagne is evident in the way he tends the vines daily, ensuring their roots reach deep into the soil to absorb the authentic minerals that define this region. The focus at Champagne Suenen is on producing a wine that tells the story of its origin, reflecting the land and its character. This dedication to terroir-driven winemaking, combined with a respect for natural and sustainable practices, makes Champagne Suenen a standout in the Côte des Blancs, offering a genuine taste of its unique chalky landscape.
