Everything a top cuvée blanc de blanc should be is here in this bottle. I have been spoiled tasting the great 2008 vintage and this might be the best I have had. From two plots planted in the early 50's in Mesnil, fermented in enamel lined iron. The chalky electricity of 2004 meet the clean richness of 2002 in this bottle that can be drunk now or saved for as long as you live!

Lovely! Serious depth of toast for the price. Candied lemon peel, leesy smooth mouthfeel and very concentrated citrus fruit, all within the lean structure of Chardonnay. Oddly it tastes much better once the carbonation decreases, so it’s always a pain when you get to the last glass and it’s by far the best one
