Chosen to celebrate some good news. Lovely liveliness and brilliant fruitiness. Quite simply, nothing to fault.

Aromatic profile
The structure of this champagne
Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Blocked malolactic fermentation preserves a lively, chiselled acidity — the hallmark of the chalk-based Grand Cru terroirs of the Côte des Blancs.
Roundness
With no malolactic fermentation and a minimal dosage of 3.9 g/L, richness is deliberately restrained — it is the mineral tension that leads.
Power
Partial ageing in large oak casks imparts density and concentrated substance, underpinned by six years of cellaring on lees.
Length
The saline, iodine finish, lifted by a signature touch of fine bitterness, extends the aromatic persistence to remarkable lengths.
TASTING NOTES
A golden robe with copper highlights and a fine, persistent bead. The nose is complex and evolving: black truffle, fresh butter and pomelo, giving way to bergamot and candied notes as it opens in the glass. The palate is precise and dense, carried by a razor-sharp acidity and concentrated substance, concluding with a saline, lightly iodine finish lifted by a touch of bitterness — an elegant signature.

The composition
Discover this wine's DNA
4g/LDosage
100%Chardonnay
Terroirs
Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards on the Côte des Blancs, the blend unites Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (58%) with Oger (42%) — two villages rooted in pure chalk, ensuring crystalline minerality and exceptional ageing potential.
About this house
Founded in 1965 by Bernard Dzieciuck in Oger, Maison Éléonore today tends 13.30 hectares of Grand Cru vines on the Côte des Blancs. The house remains firmly family-run: Bernard's children, Didier at the cellar and Carole, welcomed Anastasia Tranchard at the end of 2020 to begin a new chapter.
The house has set itself a rare discipline: producing only Grand Cru Blancs de Blancs, without malolactic fermentation, with partial ageing in large oak casks. A taut, mineral style built for the cellar — one that demands patience, and handsomely rewards it.
Food pairing
The perfect pairing
Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif
Its fine bubble and gently oaked character make this a sophisticated aperitif Champagne, perfect alongside freshly baked, golden gougères.
Starter
The razor-sharp acidity and iodine minerality of this Blanc de Blancs pair with precision alongside a peppered sea bass carpaccio.
Main course
The oaked power and aromatic depth of the Gageure 22 find a natural partner in the earthy, umami-rich flavours of a morel mushroom risotto.
