Reviewed July 2024A wonderfully creamy, round blanc de blancs that has almond-blossom, white-flower, peach, brioche and pie-crust aromas. The bubbles are silky and soft. Elegant. 100% chardonnay. 85% 2019, with 7.5% 2018 and 7.5% 2016 reserve wines. Disgorged August 2023. 7.2g/L dosage.

100% Chardonnay from east-facing vineyards with chalk soils. Fermentation in stainless-steel tanks for around 14 days at up to 18°C, followed by malolactic conversion for 85% of the juice. Aged on fine lees for nine months prior to bottling, with a further five years in bottle. Winemaker Gilles Marguet. TA 4.5 g/l, pH 3.1, RS 9 g/l. Vegan. Natural cork. Bottle weight 745 g. Available from August 2023.Gutsy, hearty wine that’s obviously champagne but is a tad loose and unfocused on the palate although very heartfelt somehow. I’d happily drink this – and five years on lees are not to be sniffed at. (JR)
