Unique expression of CH given location and vintage. This has power and ripeness to a degree, but is able to maintain its balance in acidity and dosage, never feeling top-heavy. “Les Mottelettes” 100 CH 1/2015 disgorgement 5g/l dosage

100% chardonnay from Bouzy - a slight, enticing reduction yet a lot of ripe white peach flower - to follow

En nariz buena potencia, bizcocho, manzana roja , predomina la pastelería. En boca potente , estructurado, un poco dulzón sin cansar y persistente.

Acte 1 single vineyard. Blanc blanc is so textured and fruit driven with a long mid palate that quickly cleans itself up. Intense quality for such an approachable price point.

Getting Bouzy with the Dungeness! Transparent, driven, 2008 based Chardonnay from a vineyard planted in 1961. A lot of body for a BdB but also lots of minerality!
