Unique Champagne --- 非一般的香檳

the most common grape types seen for the production of champagne are chardonnay and pinot noir.
usually a blend of both with small dosage of other minor grape varieties to give the wine its distinguish character.
now with a 100% chardonnay, you get blanc de blanc
100% pinot noir comes blanc de noir
what if u produce a champagne with chardonnay and 3 other grape types which are no longer permitted to be grown in the Champagne region?

combination of chardonnay, arbane, petit meslier and blanc vrai
Blanc de Quatre Blancs

Champagne Quattuor "Blanc de Quatre Blancs" by Drappier
CC: "this is rare.. and as rare as that it got my taste buds excited.. fine tiny energetic bubbles racing to the surface but got tired after 30mins or so, high-toned aromatic nose, an unusual fruitful scent and taste, round and soft on the palete, just like taking a bit into a giant marshmellow, fills your mouth with comfort, nice citrus lime to grapefruit spectrum of taste.. a rather unique experience"
