Bernard Bijotat Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru Champagne

Elegant. Mineral-driven. A pure expression of Vallée de la Marne’s Chardonnay.
Bernard Bijotat’s Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru is Champagne at its most refined, a cuvée that celebrates the purity of Chardonnay grown in the chalky soils of Premier Cru vineyards. This sparkling wine captures the essence of the Champagne region – crystalline, elegant, and alive with minerality – while offering a style that feels welcoming and effortlessly celebratory. Each sip tells the story of a family-run maison where passion for the craft and deep respect for the land come together in every bottle.

What makes this Blanc de Blancs so special is its balance. The freshness of orchard fruit and citrus is perfectly offset by the delicate creaminess of the mousse and a gentle pastry note, creating a Champagne that is both vibrant and complex. It’s the kind of bottle that lifts the mood of any gathering, whether it’s a grand occasion or simply a well-deserved glass at the end of the week. In Ireland, where Champagne has long been a symbol of joyful moments, this wine has a natural place on the table – elegant yet versatile, capable of shining as an aperitif or enhancing a meal.

This is not just a Champagne; it’s a reminder of how celebration can feel timeless and intimate, made to be shared with friends, family, and those who matter most.

Why we love it:
This Premier Cru Chardonnay exudes finesse and energy, with orchard fruit purity, creamy lees texture, and chalk-driven minerality. It’s a refined and expressive Champagne that elevates both celebrations and culinary moments.
