Disgorged June 2015, 40% Meunière, 35% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir. Enjoyed as an aperitif. Can see how this could easily become a go-to for Champers.

Toast, mineral, lime zest, cream, light pear. Surprisingly complex to me.

Soft with impactful and bright fruit flavors, biscuit, and plush acidity.

By the glass at Grape Smuggler. Very toasty and elegant, from 375ml bottle. Long finish of dried apricots and vanilla cedar.
