Magnum Champagne Cazals Clos de la Chapelle 2017 is a Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru made exclusively from Chardonnay grown in the family's vineyard in Oger, Côte des Blancs.

Its profile reveals a luminous colour, aromas of citrus fruit, white flowers and exotic fruit, and a structured, fresh and persistent palate. The 1.5-litre magnum format ensures slow, harmonious ageing, ideal for laying down or tasting compared with standard formats.

With its reduced dosage, this 2017 vintage champagne precisely expresses the identity of the Clos Cazals terroir and its uniqueness.

Description

Magnum Champagne Cazals Clos de la Chapelle 2017

The Magnum Champagne Cazals Clos de la Chapelle 2017 is the large-format expression of an exceptional cuvée from the closified terroir of Maison Cazals. This 1.5-litre magnum version is particularly well-suited to ageing. Indeed, the demanding 2017 vintage offers a structure that will fully reveal itself over time in this larger format.

Technical and viticultural characteristics

Appellation / classification : Champagne AOC - Blanc de Blancs made from 100% Chardonnay.
Plot origin: "Chapelle" plot, part of the Clos Cazals in Oger.
Harvest in 2017: adapted to the difficult weather conditions, harvested early to preserve sanitary quality.
Vinification & ageing: partial fermentation (10%) in oak barrels, malolactic fermentation, then ageing on laths for six years in a vaulted cellar.
Volume/size: 1.5 L (magnum).
Production: limited edition, ensuring rarity and high standards.

Organoleptic profile

Colour: pale gold, crystalline brilliance, fine, regular bubbles.
Nose: citrus fruit (zest, lemon), white flowers (hawthorn), mango, lychee.
Palate: fresh attack mixed with white fruit (peach) and exotic fruit (lychee, mango), structured acidity, slightly unctuous texture, clean, long finish.
Cellaring potential: Can be enjoyed now, but the magnum format means it will last longer (10-15 years or even longer, depending on conditions).

Tasting & context of use

The Magnum Champagne Cazals Clos de la Chapelle 2017 is designed for careful tasting in a collection or cellar setting. It is suitable for connoisseurs looking for a wine to lay down. For tasting, maintain a serving temperature of around 10°C, serve in a flute or fine glass, and aerate for a few minutes depending on the conditions.

Points of differentiation

The magnum format offers a slower, more harmonious evolution than a classic bottle.
Theplot origin (Clos Cazals - Chapelle plot) gives it a unique identity.
The partial addition of wood (10%) adds complexity without masking the pure expression of Chardonnay.
Despite the climatic constraints, the 2017 vintage reveals a highly refined aromatic precision, which has been rewarded with a high score.

Storage and serving recommendations

Storage: horizontal position, protected from light, constant temperature (12-14°C), moderate humidity.
To serve: open just before tasting, keep the bottle at ~10°C.
Food & wine pairings (suggestions): seafood, shellfish, delicate seafood products, fine fish, light poultry.
Cellar evolution: the magnum format slows down oxygenation, favouring a reasoned evolution and progressive complexity.
