✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic grand cru village of Chouilly in the Côte des Blancs, Saran Nature is a legendary still white wine (Coteaux Champenois) crafted by Moët & Chandon. Its story is deeply intertwined with the Château de Saran, a grand estate acquired by Jean-Remy Moët in 1801 that has long hosted royalty and dignitaries. Unlike the sparkling cuvées for which the region is globally famous, this rare Blanc de Blancs represents the ancient tradition of still winemaking in Champagne, which predates the sparkling method. Sourced from the chalk-rich soils surrounding the château, it showcases a beautifully pure, unadorned expression of Chardonnay, defined by vibrant citrus, white flowers, and a distinct, chalky minerality that reflects its unique terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1743 by Claude Moët, Moët & Chandon stands as Champagne's quintessential global ambassador. Anchored along the prestigious Avenue de Champagne in Épernay, the maison commands approximately 1,190 hectares of prime estate vineyards spanning the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne, supplemented by an extensive network of grower partnerships. Viticulture emphasizes sustainability through certified Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) and Viticulture Durable en Champagne (VDC) protocols, eliminating chemical herbicides. Underground, 28 kilometers of historic chalk crayères provide the microclimatic stability required for extended lees maturation. Guided by longtime Chef de Cave Benoît Gouez, the winemaking philosophy prioritizes bright fruit purity, seductive palates, and elegant maturity through temperature-controlled stainless steel vinification and malolactic fermentation. The portfolio spans the ubiquitous benchmark Moët Impérial to the terroir-driven Grand Vintage expressions and multi-vintage prestige assemblages like Collection Impériale, epitomizing grand-scale precision and classical Champagne typicity.
