C+C NV opens with a tempting bouquet of ripe apple and yellow peach intertwined with the warm, alluring aroma of freshly baked croissants. The palate is dynamically orchestrated, energetic and layered, striking confident notes of starchy apple and stone fruit, coupled with cream and tropical undertones. The finish is unfaltering, lingering long with chalky minerality.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: From Suenen’s holdings Cramant and Chouilly, where the soils are deeper than in Oiry, the NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru C + C is based on the 2016 vintage and was disgorged in June 2019 with three grams per liters dosage. Unwinding in the glass with scents of sweet pastry, yellow apples, spices, white flowers and almonds, it’s medium-bodied, precise and racy, with tangy acids and an attractively fleshy core of fruit, concluding with a saline finish.

Producer Information

The origins of Suenen date back to the late 1800s when Aurliens 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 & Simones sons, Bernard and Andr. Then in the 1950s Arliens 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. Aurlien 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.
