Blanc
de Blancs
Chardonnay from Bisseuil and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, grown on chalk. Lively, straight, mineral.
The legacy of Georges Wanner.
Georges Wanner, grandfather of Françoise Le Doeuil Wanner, was a winegrower deeply attached to his land. Françoise took over the estate and carries on this legacy, with the pure expression of great chalk terroirs at the heart of her work.

Bisseuil and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, two Premier Cru villages on chalk.
G. Wanner's chardonnay comes from these two Premier Cru villages. The chalk gives the wines their tension, their freshness and the saline finish that is the signature of the cuvée.
Bisseuil and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ lie in the Vallée de la Marne, east of Épernay, between Aÿ and Tours-sur-Marne. On these slopes, better known for pinot noir, we work only with chardonnay, for a Blanc de Blancs that is both ripe and finely cut.
Blanc de Blancs, Premier Cru, Extra Brut: what the words mean.
What is a Blanc de Blancs champagne?
A champagne made only from white grapes. At G. Wanner it is 100% chardonnay: a fresh, floral and mineral style.
What does Premier Cru mean?
In Champagne, villages are ranked by the quality of their vineyards. Premier Cru villages form the second tier, just below the Grands Crus. Bisseuil and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ are both Premier Cru.
What is Extra Brut?
A champagne with very little added sugar, between 0 and 6 grams per litre. The G. Wanner Blanc de Blancs is dosed at 1.5 g/L, to let the chardonnay and the chalk speak.
How should it be served?
Between 8 and 10 °C, with scallop carpaccio, sashimi or fresh goat's cheese. It keeps for 2 to 4 years in the cellar.
