Suenen, Oiry Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut, 2021
Suenen is one of the most respected grower Champagne producers in the Côte des Blancs, known for precise, terroir-driven Blanc de Blancs that emphasize purity and mineral tension. Since taking over the family estate in 2009, Aurélien Suenen has become a leading voice of a new generation, farming organically, working with native fermentations, and bottling wines by village to highlight site-specific character. His Champagnes are widely admired for their restraint, clarity, and ability to articulate subtle differences between Grand Cru villages.
This bottling comes exclusively from Oiry, a Grand Cru village known for producing Chardonnay with a cooler, more linear profile than its neighbors. The 2021 vintage presents with lemon zest, green apple, and white stone fruit layered with subtle floral notes and pronounced chalky minerality. The palate is crisp and focused, driven by vibrant acidity and fine, persistent bubbles that carry through a clean, saline finish. This is a serious, site-expressive Blanc de Blancs built around balance and precision.
Varietal: Chardonnay
Appellation: Oiry Grand Cru, Champagne, France
Farming: Organically farmed; low-intervention
Style: Sparkling. Extra Brut, linear, and mineral-driven
