Consumed from a half-bottle. Crisp acidity and minerality. Finish comes off as pretty apple juice like.

Disgorged November 2018.

Grower Champagne from the Montagne de Reims region of Champagne. This is the most north eastern region of Champagne where the predominate grape is Pinot Noir.
Back to the wine:

88% Chard
12% Noir

Peach, sweet spice, rich texture, ginger

This wine is from one of four villages in this region that grows mostly Chardonnay.
It's the only Demi-sec in the shop for those that want their bubbles a little sweeter. Gorgeous and incredibly versatile with lots of food, including spicy.
