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.
Suenen Description
In total Aurélien farms about 5 hectares of vineyards, 3 of which are planted exclusively to Chardonnay in Chouilly, Cramant, & Oiry. The remaining 2 hectares are located in the Massif de Saint-Thierry north of Reims planted to Pinot Noir and Meunier. There is only one parcel of this fruit that he keeps for himself, La Grande Vigne, a 65 year old plot of ungrafted Pinot Meunier located in the village of Montigny-sur-Vesle.
Aurélien has begun bottling several single vineyard, vintage dated Champagnes. This began with the 2012 harvest with the “Les Robarts” from Cramant which was disgorged and released in late 2017 for the first time. Then in 2013 he produced single vineyard bottlings of “Montaigu” from Chouilly, “La Cocluette” from Oiry and the “La Grande Vigne” from Montigny-sur-Vesle.
