WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This fine Champagne produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes from the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay is definitely a rarity as this village is known almost exclusively for its Pinot Noir based wines.
The golden color with feint hints of green belie the high-toned nature of this fine wine. The nose shows classic apples and white stone fruit blossoms tinged with citrus. A creamy texture with fresh mineral tones and floral notes round out the racy acidity that follow.
TASTING NOTES:
A restrained style, showing lemon-peel aromas integrated with chalky minerality and a whiff of butter. Zesty, almost aggressive acidity with fine bubbles and light body. The finish is leaner than expected. Disgorged December 2024. Drink now.
