Suenen | Oiry Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut

Expressive aromas of chalk, lime meringue pie, green apple, pear, and white flowers abound in this pristine, crisp Champagne. The Oiry is a precise wine, with a solid core of lemon candy, buttered croissant, praline, violets and freesia on the palate. Very fine spring water texture with vibrant, buoyant energy on the palate. Superb, lingering finish with distinct sensations of salinity and chalkiness coming from the terroir.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Including 50% reserve wines, Suenen's NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Oiry (2018 base) offers up inviting aromas of sweet orchard fruits, dried white flowers, baking spices and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, racy and vibrant, with a fleshy core of fruit, excellent concentration and a sapid finish, it's a terrific effort from one of the new stars of Champagne.

Producer Information

The origins of Suenen date back to the late 1800’s when Aurélien’s ancestors moved to the Cramant area, although they were not really involved in wine, they did collect and sell grapes to wine-making houses. Wine became a part of the family tradition when his great grandfather Marcel and his wife Simone decided to bottle and sell a single vat of Blanc des Blancs that they named “Champagne Suenen Stourbe”, hand bottled and stamped by Simone. The family trade continued with Marcel & Simone’s sons, Bernard and André. Then in the 1950’s Arélien’s father, Daniel was born and with Daniel is where Champagne Suenen really starts to flourish. Daniel worked with his father for 18 years before taking control of the business, soon after he began to expand the family holdings and increase production. He took the sales of wine from around 4,000 bottles to 20,000 bottles and also produced the first vintage dated wines from the family. Aurélien took the helm at Suenen in 2009 and has since refocused and adjusted the family holdings as well as the bottlings put out by the Suenen label. He currently is only bottling Blanc des Blancs Champagne however he still retains about 2 hectares of Pinot Noir and Meunier most of which he sells to other producers.
