Product details
This exceptional creation hails from a renowned house in the Champagne region, celebrated for its commitment to innovation and quality. Crafted exclusively from Chardonnay sourced from two esteemed Grand Cru parcels in Avize—Mont de Cramant and Les Chantereines—this expression showcases the house's dedication to highlighting the unique characteristics of each vintage. The 2005 vintage, in particular, is noted for its freshness and purity, achieved through meticulous production methods that emphasize the natural qualities of the fruit. The result is a refined and elegant offering that exemplifies the house's philosophy of minimal intervention and respect for terroir.
On the nose, this creation presents a complex bouquet of aromas, including hints of creamed baking spices, lemon curd, and a subtle mushroom edge, leading to deeper toasty nuances. The palate is characterized by a dry, sheer profile with a complex and complete structure. Lemon drop acidity enlivens the taste, while a saline and mineral undertone provides depth. The finish is remarkably long, with a majestic, warming build into a grilled nutty conclusion, offering a harmonious balance of grace and power. This expression is best enjoyed now, showcasing its full complexity and elegance.
