From: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne, France
Varietal: Chardonnay
Taste: Pale gold in the glass with a fine, persistent mousse. The aromatics are precise and lifted, revealing layers of fresh citrus—lemon zest, yuzu, and green apple—intertwined with delicate floral notes of white acacia and elderflower. Beneath the bright fruit, a distinct chalky minerality emerges, evoking the pure limestone soils of the Côte des Blancs. Hints of toasted almond, raw hazelnut, and fresh-baked brioche add depth, a subtle nod to the extended lees aging.
