NV Champagne Les Mesnil Sur Oger 17 50 Blanc de Blanc Extra Brut

Son of Olivier Leflaive. The first number denotes the base vintage and the second the dosage in 0.1 g/l. Neat, well-composed nose. Pretty aggressive mousse and rapier-like, super-refreshing acidity but not austere. This would make a fine, well-balanced but revitalising aperitif. Clean as a whistle and super-brisk. But not an enormous amount of depth. (JR)
