Late celebration of my WSET Level 3 Pass with Distinction. Mid Lemon with a fine persistent mousse. Bread and apple aromas. Palate of delicate stone fruits with a touch of honey and the expected chalky minerality. An exquisite Blanc de Blancs from 2 Grand Cru vineyards aged 50 and 77 years. Amazing balance luxury and drinkablity. Interestingly Larmandier employs a program of Batonnage in his still wines prior to the 2nd fermentation. Clearly I loved this champagne.

The Kimmeridgian chalk gives this a bouquet of crushed oyster shells, seaweed, and apple cinammon tart with aromas of fresh green apples and lemon lime. Few champagnes showcase the minerals of the region as well as this one. A stunner that could easily replace Dom Perignon or Cristal.
