Vines are known to have been planted in Bligny since the 12th Century. The current vineyards cover twenty hectares. All the plots that were well-reputed in the past have been replanted, including the former vineyards of the Sainte Euladie Priory founded centuries ago, the “Bernardin” vineyards that once belonged to the monks of the famous Cistercian abbey of Clairvaux, and the “Val-l’Ermite”.
Tasting Notes
A harmonious blend of the 6 Champagne grape varieties, this Clos du Chateau has a delicate, scented nose. It is well-structured, powerful and lively on the palate, with dominant mineral flavors. “Cuvee 6 Cepages” is a very full wine with superb length.
Pale golden colour. A rich, subtly floral nose. Toasted, honey and star anise aromas. Expressive and very fruity on the palate, with vanilla, quince jelly, and boiled sweet aromas. A delightful finish.
