I didn't get all the label info, and for an NV wine, I know this is important context. What I did get was 8 years on lees so that might help. 100% Chard. Initially, this has a pie crust aroma and I am unsure if the producer uses any wood for elevage. Lime flavor, but more like a lime flesh note, with tangerine, green apple. Bright with good concentration and structure, a honeyed finish with mineral. I also retained a few ounces for the following morning and the wine had picked up a cool bitterness within the finish, something akin to a lemon pith. The intensity was also increased and the finish length was even better. This was a terrific Champagne.

Wonderfully enjoyable bottle, which had about 1.5 years of bottle age after delivery in spring 2015. Focused green apple and yeasty bread in the aromas, and the palate snaps into laser focus with cool pure fruit and minerality. Delightful bottle.

Actually much better than I thought, this had great acidity with a finish of sweet fruit. Very nice great with the chicken we ate it with.
