100% Chardonnay
Great Champagne producer here, a real boon for enthusiasts of the region/style. These are organically farmed and this one is all chardonnay, matured in oak barrels for 12 months and spends five years on lees.
It's a creamy yet scintillating expression - that marriage of two opposites, in some respects, hard to manage in many Champagne but this gets top marks. Lemon balm, lemon curd, gingery notes, ripe and dried apples, some brioche, honey-glazed nuts and a light toasty element to sniff on. The palate similar but for the core of lime and brine acidity that scorches through each sip, refreshing the finish, finishing pleasingly salty and bright. Bubbles are lush, rich, full, but refreshing too. A winning, fuller wine. MIKE BENNIE, winefront.com
