Domaine Carré Frères, Les Blanches Maladries 2022

Champagne, France | 50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir | Extra Brut

Located in the Grand Cru terroir of Verzy, Les Blanches Maladries brings together two distinct vineyard parcels: La Blanche Voie, planted in 1982, and Les Maladries, planted in 2005. An equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this cuvée celebrates the individuality of these two sites, combining the elegance of Chardonnay with the structure and depth of Pinot Noir.

Harvested in 2022, the wine underwent spontaneous malolactic fermentation before spending ten months ageing on its lees in 450-litre oak barrels, 50% of which were new. Bottled in June 2023, it then enjoyed a further 30 months of maturation in the estate's cellars before disgorgement in December 2025.
