Sunday, August 6, 2023 - Great example of a grand cru cote des blanc grower..
This bottle seems to be based on the 2016 vintage and was disgorged in early 2019 after 2 years on the lees. So aged 4 plus years post disgorgement. 100% Chouilly Chardonnay dosed at 6g/l.
Excellent depth of color (lemon/green).
Gorgeous aromas of citrus, white flowers , candied green apple and some brioche. Just a hint of oxidization on the nose.
This wine really shines on the plate - medium bodied , mouth watering acidity, lots of flavor concentration and chalky mineral laden finish.
Drinking well now and for those with the 2016 base year- I would opt to drink up.
