Mesnil Expérience Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Chardonnay

First time with this producer. There’s focus and length down the palate, but a touch of breadth and ripeness in the fruit give it a generosity that helps balance the high acid. Almost curious if some other CdBfruit found its way in here. Some really lovely earth character of damp chalk and mushrooms add some nice complexity. 100 CH, barrel ferm, no malo, 5 years on lees, 0g/l dosage, back label says 4/2014 disgorgement it doesn’t strike me as having a lot of post-disgorgement development? Would love to learn more

Honey, bread, stony ”minerality”, a great creaminess and high acids; but the mousse is quite poor.

Exact bubbles that meet all the traditional quality levels and the some!! #mesnil #champagne #onlychardonnay #classic

Творог, цветок лимона, латекс, лимонный курд, кумкват, желтый грейпфрут, бузина, базилик, фисташки, тонкая ваниль, багетная корочка, мел. Сочно и интенсивно, напористо, с туго натянутой кислотностью и чуть резковатым внутренним напряжением. Очень молодо, первично, фактурно. Больше энергии, чем элегантности.

Great champs. Super balanced but not exaggerated. Very bread on the verge o cherry kernels. Dry n nice.

Really crisp and opens up palate

I only want to drink these kinds of growers Champagnes.
(Thank you, Michel.)

Bright, exotic, lots of energy, all primary. Mineral, citrus, some toast.
