Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs 'Blanc de Ventuil' by Maurice Grumier expresses the experience of 4 generations of winemakers. It is a brut sans année, the Champenois term for a non-vintage sparkling wine, 100% Chardonnay that rests on the lees for 4 years. It is a luxurious Blanc de Blancs with crisp, concentrated aromas of pear, toasted brioche, crushed limestone and vanilla custard. On the palate, a creamy and luxurious mousse is accompanied by a strong acidity and beautiful flavors of freshly shaved yuzu, cooked almonds, brioche, green apple and white tea. A long and opulent finish ends with notes of tree fruit and flowers. Only 3.993 bottles produced.

Grumier family has been cultivating their own vineyards since 1743 and has been processing their own grapes since 1928 even though the brand was "founded" only in 1945. The Maison is in Venteuil, on the right side of the Marne, a few kilometers from Epernay. The 8.5 hectares of property, scattered over various Villages in the area (Venteuil, Reuil and Festigny, among others) allow Fabien, current manager of the estate, to deal with different varieties (even if Pinot Meunier, 55%, is the dominant grape) and original terroirs. The attention to agricultural practices (certification: haute valeur enviromental) and the winemaking that tends to support the expressiveness of the vineyards is reflected in the glass, making genuine, fresh and drinkable wines available to the user. Production is around 70,000 bottles.
