Grower Champagne from Le Mesnil sur Oger, Marne Valley. Clear pale gold; fabulous aromatic complexity with quince, pears, grapefruit, crushed oyster shells and almond; fine, dry mousse; maze of flavors include dried stone fruits, candied ginger, roasted almonds and a mineral driven backbone (crushed sea shells on a pier after it rains). Wish I’d purchased the magnum!
