Its holdings run across Cuis, whose north facing slopes hold acidity, and the grand cru villages of Cramant, Chouilly and Oger, with a high proportion of old vines. The house style is deliberate: whole bunch pressing, fermentation in stainless steel with no oak, malolactic completed and modest dosage, so that the chalk rather than the cellar does the talking. Paradoxe departs from that rule by blending Pinot Noir into a Chardonnay base, which for a Cote des Blancs grower is something of a statement, and it is made as a vintage wine rather than a blend across years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eServe at around 10 degrees with roast chicken, mushroom dishes, veal or a soft washed rind cheese, and treat it as a wine for the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
