Retains the Chardonnay character. Great balanced acidity & structure.

Ripe, rich, chewy, beautifully full bodied and dense. Sweet autolytic notes. There’s nerve and acid there to balance the intensity. 1/2019 disgorgement

From magnum. A fabulous Grand Cru NV and pretty much everything I want in a BdB Champagne. Bright citrus fruit and white peach with lovely minerals and some absolutely banging acid! Gorgeous texture. Impeccable balance, everything is in the right place. It could be the large format (Champagne always seems to be more delicious from big bottles) but I want more of this in my life.

An incredible Chardonnay Champagne from the land of Pinot. Lively citrus and a soft, leesy richness. Seashells and dough share company here.
