Origins & Craftsmanship
A legacy of pride and terroir, Tassin is a family estate dating back to 1793 on the Côte des Bar. Their Blanc de Blancs is crafted exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from vineyards of varied vintages. The wine benefits from an extended 30-month aging on the lees, creating depth and creamy complexity before disgorgement.
