Dominated by fresh yellow orchard fruits. Yellow apples, yellow pear, quince, orange zest, white blossoms. Elegant mineral tone of wet clay, sweet cream, light caramel, warm spices. Demonstrates BdB elegance with a touch more weight to it. Beautiful and very accessible. 7/2015 disgorgement.

My favorite of Chiquet's NV wines. Chalky, yeasty and lively.

2005 magnum. Even though the mousse is already revealing an aged wine, this is packed with graceful citrus fruit and wet clay mineral notes. The RS intermingles nicely with the ripe fruits and racy acidity.
