Much different than the Gaston Chiquet we had just before. This was made in a more oxidative style. Lemons and nuts but the acid kick at the end is delightful and I think the dosage brings things into balance. To me, not quite as racy and exciting as the Blanc de Blancs d’Äy but this is a wine of good character.
