Stunning, absolutely stunning. A crystalline gold color with an impressive amount of bubbles. Oak aromas are dominant upon opening. Quite saline on the nose with minerality and moist limestone. Just a bit of earth and brioche. Beeswax and pineapple with lemon peel.
Pure Grand Cru Chardonnay from the village of Oiry. No dosage so the terroir is highly expressive. The high acidity is electric and lovely. Dry, oh so dry, but approachable and warm. Medium bodied with all the finesse you could ask for. The fruit explodes on the tongue with citrus but apples soon takeover. The finish is long and pleasing. My favorite from Marguet so far.
