@Delectable this is Extra Brut

This is a blend of Grand & 1st Cru vineyards-100% Chardonnay. Terroirs Nord Côte des Blancs. Grand Cru 58%, Cramant, 27% Chouilly-Premier Cru 15% CUIS.

Not as good as their single vineyard Special Club’s. But none the less delicious. I find this producer to make very nice cuvées at affordable champagne prices.

The color presents deep yellow.

The nose is slightly macerated Meyer lemons, pineapple, red & green apples, lime pith with zest, caramel, saline, frothed milk, light yeast, bread dough, river stone, chalk, volcanics, limestone, yellow & spring flowers.

Nice mousse that has lively acidity. Slightly macerated Meyer lemons, yellow & white stone fruits, pineapple, red & green apples, lime pith with zest, tangerines, caramel, saline, frothed milk, light yeast, bread dough, river stone, chalk, volcanics, limestone, yellow & spring flowers, excellent acidity and well balanced, nicely knitted, smartly polished & elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds.
