I want to be the Christmas bitch

... the kind of bitch who will create the “WOW” effect when arriving (late) for dinner with this bottle of wine:

Clos du Chateau de Bligny Cuvée 6 cépages

"oh really, am i late? (no apologies - obviously)

Listen to this first: there are 6 grapes in that bottle of Champagne. Did you know that it was possible?"

(Condescending look -> BITCH)

“well, you should know that there are actually 7 grapes authorized in the Champagne AOC, and not only the 3 famous we all know (Chardonnay Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier)

The forgotten grapes are: Arbane, Petit Meslier, Pinot blanc and Pinot gris....!"

Pause (...)

Look carefully at people's reaction.

(Important, so people can drink your words and look at you in a very impressed way -> BITCH again)

"However, you should know that those 4 grapes represent not even 0.5% of the vineyards in Champagne, hence this is why they are rarely mentioned.

Besides, Chardonnay Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier will always be the stars, the ones everybody want to focus on."

So... is it just marketing to release a special “6 grapes” Cuvée, or does it make a real difference in taste?

Well, when it comes to Chateau de Bligny, I have to say that this wine is divine.

Is it due to the presence of Arbane or Petit Meslier? Hard to tell.

Each of the 6 grapes represent 1/6 of the wine. So they probably all contribute to the beautiful result.

This Recoltant Manipulant, who does not ring a bell to a lot of Champagne afficionados, should be more carefully considered.

This “Clos du Chateau 6 cépages” is a nectar from Gods. Supple yet wide in the mouth. Very Fresh with the tiniest bubbles you could expect from a Non-vintage Champagne. Its texture makes it an ideal companion with food: why not matching it with creamy scallop or even stuffed turkey?

The palate is so generous that I can bet you it could also be a perfect match with any smelly cheese you can find.

Well, I know that Christmas is about sharing. But let me be a Bitch a little more... and have the bottle for myself. 

Pleaaaaaaase Santa!!

Merry Christmas to all !
