74% Pinot Meunier, 16% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir.
Dosage = 5 g/l

Shows a hint of oxidation that makes me think of vintage-Taittinger.
Lacks a little intensity and length on the palate to be in the "Big League" but at $40+ any comparisons are unfair.
I think 3-5 years in a cold cellar will really benefit this NV and make it punch way above its weight class.
