Blanc de Blancs 2017
A champagne that will delight vintage collectors
Made with 100% Chardonnay crafted exclusively from Grands Crus
The very clear, golden-yellow color reveals a slow, regular effervescence. The bubbles are extremely fine, feeding a thin cordon on the surface.
The first nose is discreet and delicate, with notes of Menton lemon, honeysuckle, lily of the valley and milk bread. On aeration, the bouquet is enhanced by hints of thyme and lemon balm. The nose is particularly elegant, with freshness and finesse, followed by deeper notes of honey and lemon tart.
The attack is sweet and acidic, then the wine is fluid, slender, light and airy. The structure is perfumed with vanilla and meringue notes. The fine effervescence underlines the creamy sensation of this beautiful material. The freshness of the lemon sorbet and a delicately saline texture are prominent.
The finish is a perfect continuation of the palate, fabulously lemony, slightly salty and long, leaving the memory of magnificent acidity.
Summary
This vintage captures the intrinsic qualities of its birth year and those of Chardonnay to offer a pure and lively wine with sensational potential.
