Alongside the Oiry bottling the C+C represents one of the two NV bottlings that Aurélien produces. C+C comes from his vineyards located in Chouilly & Cramant, hence the cuvée name. In general the C+C is a bit richer with more breadth than the Oiry bottling.
The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs C + C Grand Cru gets its name from Chouilly and Cramant, the villages where the Chardonnay was picked. The nose presents yellow apple peel with a sheen of waxiness and a sense of dried ears of wheat and a touch of ocean air. Saltiness is immediate on the slender palate, where concentration gives a sense of salted apple flesh, wet oyster shell and deep chalk. Slender, earthy, intense and deeply oceanic. Fruit subsides to let soil speak. There's a fine but slightly dissipating mousse. Disgorged: January, 2023. - Anne Krebiehl MW
Based on the 2019 vintage, the new release of Suenen's NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru C + C is the usual blend of Cramant and Chouilly. Delivering aromas of sweet citrus fruits, green apple, baking spices and nuts, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a pillowy mid-palate and a chalky, saline finish.
