Product: 20158176040
Description
The Millésime from the warm and dry 2015 vintage is made entirely form Chardonnay, sourced from 50 year-old vines in Grand Cru vineyards of both Mesnil and Oger. Fresh, mineral and straight down the line, you can really taste the classic chalkiness of the terroir in this cuvée, but it is still so approachable.
The nose has hints of candied orange and apples and a delicate bouquet of white flowers, while the palate has a fine texture with a vibrant mousse and a lingering finish of apricot tart. Perfect to drink now, this will also develop over the next decade.
