Product info

The Voirin-Desmoulins Brut Blanc de Blancs Magnum Champagne is a prestigious cuvée made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in Grand Cru-classified terroirs, notably in Cramant and Chouilly. This 1.5-litre format is favoured by oenologists for its ability to reduce oxidation and promote the slow, harmonious ageing of Champagne wines. Traditional vinification includes full malolactic fermentation, which helps stabilise the grape variety’s natural acidity whilst imparting a silky texture and superior aromatic complexity.

On the palate, this Blanc de Blancs Champagne has a pale yellow colour with crystalline highlights and fine effervescence. The nose reveals a dominant mineral character accompanied by notes of white flowers and citrus, whilst the palate offers a clean attack and a lingering salty finish, typical of the chalk soils of the Côte des Blancs. For optimal enjoyment, serve at a temperature of between 8°C and 10°C, ideal for accompanying refined dishes such as scallop carpaccio or fine shellfish.

Description

Champagne Voirin-Desmoulins Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru - Magnum 1.5L

The Voirin-Desmoulins Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne, presented here in a Magnum bottle, is a single-varietal cuvée made exclusively from white grapes. This wine expresses the analytical characteristics of terroirs ranked at the very top of the Champagne hierarchy, offering a technical and precise interpretation of Chardonnay.

Geological Origin and Expertise

This cuvée is based on a rigorous selection of plots located on the prestigious Côte des Blancs, mainly on the Grand Cru terroir of Cramant. The subsoil consists of a thick layer of Campanian chalk, outcropping in places, which acts as a natural thermal and water regulator for the Chardonnay’s root system.

Vinification follows a strict traditional protocol. After hand-harvesting and fractional pressing, the musts undergo primary fermentation in temperature-controlled vats to preserve the aromatic precursors. The stabilisation process includes full malolactic fermentation, providing the structural dimension necessary for the wine’s balance. Ageing on lees in the bottle extends over several years in the estate’s cellars in Chouilly, allowing for optimal yeast autolysis prior to disgorgement and a moderate dosage as a Brut.

Organoleptic Profile

Sensory analysis of this Blanc de Blancs Champagne reveals consistent technical parameters:

Colour: A pale yellow appearance with crystalline highlights. The effervescence is characterised by a column of fine bubbles and a persistent string of bubbles on the surface.
Nose: The initial nose is marked by mineral and floral notes (white flowers). Upon aeration, the profile evolves towards citrus nuances (lemon) and hints of white-fleshed fruit.
Palate: The attack is clean, dominated by a structuring acidity typical of limestone soils. The mid-palate offers a silky texture. The finish is persistent, marked by a final salinity that highlights the Grand Cru origin of the grapes.

Serving Guidelines and Food Pairings

For optimal appreciation of the aromas, this Magnum of Champagne should be served at a constant temperature between 8°C and 10°C. The 1.5-litre format promotes more stable thermal inertia and a slower evolution of the wine’s components compared to a standard bottle.

In terms of food pairing, its characteristics lend themselves to specific dishes:

Scallop carpaccio or steamed white fish.
Fine shellfish (langoustines, lobster) prepared simply.
Long-matured hard cheeses (Comté, Beaufort).

Why choose the Voirin-Desmoulins Magnum?

The Magnum format is technically recognised by oenologists as the ideal container for the development of Champagne. The ratio between the volume of liquid and the oxygen contained in the neck of the bottle reduces premature oxidation, guaranteeing superior freshness and enhanced aromatic complexity. The Grand Cru provenance ensures a density of substance and an acidity profile capable of withstanding prolonged ageing in the cellar.
