- A 'vintage only' champagne producer, quite rare in Champagne
- True to it's origins, full-bodied, rich yet great freshness, this will impress
- Pair with Scallops, oysters and some mediterranean fare
What we love about this wine is it’s pure character that speaks vividly of it’s terroir on the clay-limestone soils in the village of Noé-les-Mallets. Immersed in aromas white flower and yellow fruit is the unmistakable note of plasticine (UK term for Play doh) that immerses the senses.
The palate is dry, tense and earthy at first and then with some air and time in the glass, the acidity starts to unfurl and establish itself on the centre of the tongue amplifying with each sip. Flavours of green apple, yellow grapefruit, quince emerge and a distinct dry ‘fino’ sherry vibe with it’s salty-briney sensation which we thoroughly enjoyed.
We highly recommend this wine
Technical details: 100% Chardonnay, fermented in oak with partial malolactic fermentation and aged on lees for six years. The harvest was tricky at the beginning with lots of rain but ended sunny and warm so the high natural sugars and ripeness allowed this to be a Zero dosage or Brut Nature.
