Champagne Extra Brut
Stellaire de Breux 2021

The Champagne Stellaire de Breux by Alexandre Chaillon is a Blanc de Blancs that takes shape from a single parcel in the Coteaux Sud d'Épernay, in the lieu-dit Terre de Breux (lieu-dit), within the village of Brugny, where the landscape speaks of a precise vocation for Chardonnay. On soils of chalky and limestone origin dating back to the Campanian, old vines grow that render a clear, terroir-driven reading of this corner of Champagne, made of finesse, light and depth.

This edition, Vintage 2021, offers a clear and complete reading of Chardonnay. Vinification and maturation take place in 228 and 300 litre tonneaux, where the wine matures for ten months on its fine lees and completes malolactic fermentation, without filtration or fining. After tirage, the wine ages on its lees for about 40 months, while the low final dosage of 1 g/l, in Extra Brut style, keeps the tension and transparency of the vintage intact.

On tasting, Stellaire de Breux 2020 stands out for the elegant creamy and citrus notes that open the palate with momentum and luminosity, outlining from the very start a profile of great finesse, balance and definition. On the palate a deep, persistent saline imprint emerges, developing with energy and continuity, sustained by a steady tension and a slender structure that carry through to a long, vibrant finish of rare expressive precision. Production in a limited run of 1,128 bottles and 109 magnums.
