Champagne Zoemie de Souza's Brut Precieuse

This was a generous gift from a friend. A non-vintage Grand Cru champagne, the back label was most illuminating. It was pure Grand Cru Chardonnay (and hence a blanc de blanc). I had previously blogged about the Echelles des Cru de Champagne in the blog entry about a red Coteaux Champenois and so will not repeat what I have already written. There are 17 Grand Cru villages in all; the back label helpfully states that the fruit for this cuvee comes from the villages of Avize, Oger and Cramant, the last of which I had also previously blogged. I also noticed a date of disgorgement: 21st July 2009.

Looking up the Champagne de Souza Website, it states that apart from the villages noted above, le Mesnil sue Oger and Chouilly als provide fruit fro the above wine.
