High in Acidity

Written Notes

Understood to be the first blanc de blancs from this small, very old House. While its “standards” are decent, acceptable but hardly exciting fizz, the prestige wines they release can be scintillating. I’ve seen them picked as Krug's in blind tastings by some very knowledgeable palates.

This is a blend from the '95,'96, '98 and '99 vintages. It is crisp and clean, with great length. Crunchy acidity. Tight, with finesse and a mix of flavours including a lemony note, cashews and stonefruit. Terrific champers.

Gently toasty, brioche nose. Pure, fresh and crisp, very lean and harmonious. Lemony bite in the end. – JL 90p. (3/2023)
