Ay Blanc Grand Cru 2022 is one of the still wines under the Coteaux Champenois appellation - the legal label that lets growers in Champagne bottle still wine rather than send the fruit to the second fermentation. 100% Chardonnay from Bérêche's parcel in Ay, vinified and aged in oak.
Ay is a Grand Cru village, but it's overwhelmingly known for Pinot Noir; growers' Chardonnay there is rare and tends to be a curiosity rather than a flagship. Bérêche's Coteaux Champenois range has been growing in the last few vintages alongside the still red Ormes Rouge "Les Montees" - a quiet expansion of what the domaine puts out.
