Champagne Extra Brut
Oiry

The Champagne Oiry by Suenen is a Blanc de Blancs that embodies a pure and essential vision of the Côte des Blancs, made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown on Grand Cru vineyards over forty years of age in the surroundings of the village of Oiry. From these chalky and compact soils, among the most vocated in all of Champagne, comes a wine that translates with clarity the mineral finesse and depth of an exceptional terroir, interpreted with respect and artisanal sensitivity in the name of the most authentic varietal expression.

This edition, based on the 2021 harvest enriched with 45% vin de réserve from the vintages between 2013 and 2020, is born exclusively from Chardonnay grapes and undergoes a low-intervention vinification, with gentle pressing, natural static settling without enzymes or chaptalisation, spontaneous fermentation and maturation in mixed vessels, half in steel and half in barriques of 228 and 500 litres. After several months on the fine lees, without filtration or forced stabilisation, bottling is followed by an ageing on the lees for around 30 months, while the final dosage of 4 g/l, in an Extra Brut style, preserves the integrity of the fruit and its aromatic finesse.

On tasting, it presents itself with a bright yellow of golden reflections, run through by a fine and elegant mousse. The palate reveals a distinctive saline tension, linked to the compact chalkiness of the soil, that harmonises with the richness of grapes ripened under an ideal exposure. Notes of pastry and delicate spices blend in a texture both creamy and mineral, where the saline progression lends momentum and definition. The balance between fullness and freshness delivers a long and vibrant persistence, where a subtle bitter trail signs off a clean, deep finish of great expressive coherence. Production in a limited run of 11,926 bottles, 400 magnums and 40 jeroboams.
