Description

100% chardonnay; a blend of 20–25 crus, mostly premier crus from Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, with Sézanne for maturity and the Massif de Saint-Thierry for freshness; 20–25% reserves; 7.5g/L dosage; cork

The vibrant yellow green colour is on full display in the clear glass bottle, but it needs to be protected from light. Perhaps complaining at this price is churlish, for the wine rides on the wings of flowery, lemon blossom aromas and an almost razor-sharp linearity to the wonderfully long palate leaving the mouth fresh, thirsting for more. 95 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion Magazine
