The vineyard’s chalky soils help shape a wine that combines energy and finesse with a distinctive saline character. A fragrant bouquet of white flowers and lemon zest is complemented by delicate notes of wheat and toasted almond. The 1.5L magnum offers a generous format for sharing this expressive Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2016 growing season brought a cool, wet spring followed by a warm, dry summer and sunny harvest conditions. A portion of the wine was matured in oak, adding depth while preserving the Chardonnay’s freshness. The palate is creamy and refined, with ripe fruit giving way to concentrated citrus, chalk and maritime notes. A dosage of 7 grams per litre supports the wine’s balanced Brut style. Serve it with oysters, shellfish or delicate fish dishes, or enjoy it on its own as an aperitif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Floral, citrus-led and mineral\u003cbr\u003eJasmine, orange blossom and lemon zest with wheat, chalk, sea spray and delicate toasted almond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Creamy, concentrated and vibrant\u003cbr\u003eA soft, velvety texture unfolds into ripe fruit, citrus zest and fresh, chalky mineral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, saline and refined\u003cbr\u003eLemon zest, chalk and subtle marine nuances linger through a smooth, mouth-watering finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Intensely perfumed, the Champagne has great citrus fruit and minerality that has now intensified and matured into a perfect age.
