Grongnet is a long-standing grower in Étoges, a village in the Côte de Sézanne where Chardonnay thrives on a mix of chalk and silex soils. The estate releases a Special Club only in vintages that merit the designation, and 2010 provided the structure and balance to support extended maturation. Fermented with native yeasts and aged for many years on the lees, the wine reflects both the character of the year and Grongnet’s preference for traditional, slow élevage.
The aromatics include citrus oil, baked apple, white flowers, and subtle pastry notes over a clean mineral base. The palate is firm and composed, with bright acidity, fine mousse, and a long finish shaped by chalk and tension. This is a well-built 2010 Special Club that shows the clarity and longevity associated with the vintage and offers a thoughtful expression of Chardonnay from the Côte de Sézanne.
Varietal: Primarily Chardonnay
Appellation: Côte de Sézanne, Marne, Champagne, France
Farming: Sustainable, hand-harvested
Style: Sparkling. Structured, mineral, and age-worthy
