J.L. Vergnon

In the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Didier Vergnon and his son Clement are the 4th and 5th generations to lead this small 5 hectare estate.
All the cuvees are 100% Chardonnay (blanc de blancs), sourced from their own vineyards in the Grand Cru Vineyards in the Cote de Blanc.

Low dosage across the range endows this true expression of typical terroir, vivacity, and nerve combined with the unique finesse of chardonnay.
This is highly recommended for the Champagne fans looking for high quality blanc de blancs.
