Lovely champagne. Dig the style.

It has beautiful mousse with lively acidity. Green apple, lime zest/pulp, lemon pulp, pineapple flesh, slightly, bruised red apple, a touch of apple cider, Bosc pear, kiwi, soft ginger, graham crackers, whipped cream, limestone minerals, dry chalky bits, yeasty bread dough, grey volcanics, sea spray, yellow flowers, jasmine, white flowers, excellent acidity with perfect tension/struture, balance for days with smartly executed elegant finish that lasts minutes and long finish settles on spice & minerals.

Grapes are a 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay
sourced from Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
Aging is 7 years on the lees, followed by an additional 12-18 months of rest after disgorgement. Dosage is 4.5 g. Disgorgement in May, 2021. This saw 25% neutral wood.
