Champagne Sténopé 2008 sports telltale braille on it's packaging, a giveaway that Michel Chapoutier has a hand in this particular bottling as well as Champagne Devaux. According to the winery, they never "discloses the blend," that said, it's the color of sun-bleached straw, with earthy overtones lending a serious edge to notes of lemon pith and white grapefruit that are present on the nose and palate. It's a precise, well-crafted Champagne, imbued with freshness and cradled in fleur de sel and chalky minerality.
