What a lovely wine. It has definition and nerve that balances out its impressive breadth, especially given the racing acid across all parts of the mouth. Lemon pith, tart apple, crushed chalk, hazelnut, Emmentaler rind, salted ham, hay. There’s a kiss of something aldehydic in there, but I like the complexity it brings. This has gained some nice development. 100 CH 4/2017 disgorgement

Fresh, energetic, complex, like a Chablis with bubbles. 3 yrs on the lees and bottled with no dosage, notes of green apple, minerals, saline and a bit of pear
