The fruit comes from the chalk-rich lieux-dits of Tourne Midi and Les Chênes, parcels especially well suited to Chardonnay and prized for the mineral precision they bring to the finished wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2017 Volupté was fermented and aged in an equal combination of oak barrels and enamel-lined stainless-steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation was avoided to preserve the vintage’s natural acidity and freshness. The Champagne then spent approximately 90 months aging on its lees before disgorgement, gaining exceptional texture, aromatic complexity and finely integrated bubbles. A very low dosage of just 2 grams per liter keeps the finish dry, focused and distinctly mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it displays a bright straw-gold color and an elegant bouquet of white peach, ripe lemon, green apple, smoky stone, raw hazelnut and subtle mocha. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, with a creamy mousse, polished texture and bright, persistent acidity. Notes of candied citrus, white fruit and toasted nuts lead into a long, chalky and beautifully defined finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe domaine describes Volupté as a Champagne that combines refined white-fruit aromas with a chiseled attack, creamy texture, candied citrus, hazelnut and the chalky minerality characteristic of fine Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeb Dunnuck 93+ Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The 2017 Champagne Premier Cru Cumières Blanc de Blancs Volupte Extra Brut pours a bright straw\/yellow color and reveals notes of mocha, ripe lemon balm, smoky wet stones, white peach, and raw hazelnut.
