Note di degustazione
The 2017 Brut Blanc de Blancs spent over five years on lees. Lemony kefir defines the nose with its lactic tanginess, while an edge of fennel seed and supple toastiness add roundness. The palate leaves the lactic tanginess behind and delves deep into smooth, chalky creaminess. Energetic mousse brings liveliness and underlines both the creaminess of the midpalate and the clarity of the fruit underneath. The finish is rounded, smooth and long. Dosage is 10 grams per liter.

This silky, super-fresh sparkling wine has aromas of biscuits, blanched almonds, white flowers and lemons. It’s sleek and refined, with lively citrus acidity complemented by a light pastry touch. Drink or hold.
Full bottle 1,616 g. 100% Chardonnay. Disgorged 26 November 2024. Dosage 10 g/l. Definite smoky/toasty aroma as well as sweet citrus, strong notes of brioche and creamy lees plus pure, bright citrus fruit with just a touch of clementine. Lightly chewy and generous autolytic (toasty) flavours as well as a light 'golden spiciness' that is as much texture as flavour. Rich, mouth-filling. More intensity than elegance at the moment but the finish is long and the mousse lingers nicely alongside those layers of mature flavours. Not bone dry but balanced, leading to a long, mouth-watering finish. (JH)
