This champagne is in sparse company in terms of value. Made from the Grand Cru chardonnay of Chouilly and Cramant on the Cotes de Blancs, it has quite powerful and concentrated citrus and stone fruit flavors that intermingle with floral elements, chalky minerality and toasted sourdough. Despite the power, it remains bright, crisp and refreshing on the palate with creamy mousse and a beautifully precise and long finish. It is quite an impressive balancing act.

The difference between this and the Brut version is purely dosage technically speaking, but you'd think they were completely different cuvées altogether. Fresh white peaches, bright meyer lemon, and citrus rind jump out of the glass. The palate is structured and fresh, again a complete departure from the Brut version from Damien Hugot. I'd recommend grabbing the two of them to put side by side for an adventure into the discussion of Champagne dosage.

Notes

This extra brut is not nearly as dry and steely as one might expect, as it is sourced from the Hugot estate's very old massal selected vineyards in the grand cru's of Cramant and Chouilly. It is Meursault-like in its richness, with subtle pineapple notes framed by fresh baguette flavors. Don't be afraid to drink this as an aperitif! It is quite rich and broad for an extra brut!
