Tuesday, July 19, 2022 - Clear - Medium Gold - Aggressive mouse. Steady stream of fine bubbles throughout. Definite lees / bread / brioche heavy on nose. Green apple, lemon zest, minerality. Creamy. M+ to high acid, Med Alc (12.5% Abv)

Notes from winemaker: 6y on lees aging.

Special Club: Concept started in 1971 for 'Grower Champagne'. Bottle with a special shape, created exclusively for them & used only by them. The Club comprises 28 artisan wine makers, selected from the finest areas of the Champagne region, each one recognized for the quality of their work. The Club is the only organization in Champagne to select its members according to a set of unrelenting quality standards:
Each champagne is subject to two blind tastings (once at the still wine stage before bottling and again after 3 years ageing in bottle) by a panel of passionate and distinguished oenologists and wine makers.

A Special Club champagne may only be made in outstanding vintage years. 4 years aging minimum is required.
