100% Chardonnay from
some of Cote des Blancs signature crus, namely Avize, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger,
Oger and Vertus.
Clear, bright, pale
straw, consistent perlage.
Clean, moderate plus
intensity showing Chardonnay austerity, citrus zest, chalky mineral note, white
flowers, almonds, nutty complexity.
Dry, proper Blanc de
Blancs style with a low dosage of between 6 g/l, high acidity, precise, linear,
focus, full texture with slight hints of honey, generous with pure chalky note
follows through, grilled hazelnut, revving with energy.
Well priced for a
Blanc de Blancs, the highlight of the tasting that day, 53 months on the lees,
with the base cuvee being 2007 vintage. Now until 2033+
