Light and focused Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. Brilliant gold color indicative of its superb freshness. Very enticing nose; a classic. Citrus fruit notes with intense chalk, pure and zesty. Great tension on the palate, verticality, and electric freshness, fine bubbles, and very creamy and soft.

"From Mesnil sur Oger, the 2017 Champagne Côte Grand Cru pours a bright straw hue and is aromatic with notes of yellow apple and chalky stones. The palate is very long, with a silky, chalk texture as well as notes of lemon balm. it goes on for ages on the palate, with a linear drive and a fantastic finish. It’s linear and bright and will benefit from time in the cellar. Drink 2025-2045. 4.5 grams per liter dosage."

"A vivacious version, with fine texture, showing notes of poached pear, Marcona almond, cherry blossoms, grapefruit pith and a streak of chalky minerality, expanding gracefully on the palate."
