Disgorged Feb 2016. On the nose, fresher than the 2007 we had, yeasty, smoky, and chalky, on the palate, quite dry and mineral with some saltiness in the finish. Acidity was widespread but a bit lack of concentration. Finish was a bit short, which was slightly disappointing considering the vintage. I am not sure if it just needs a bit more time to show? Had a few bottles of his champagne over past two years, they are still solid and interesting wines in some aspects, but I can't say this is in my bucket list of favourite grower producers.

Taken straight from the winefridge, open and as it says 10 min before tasting in Zalto Universal, color light golden, nose a bit muted, taste was soft and delicious with an fresh ending, later more nuances on the nose more minerals, some white peach and apples.My last bottle but this wine could be drunk over the next 10 years.

Montgeuex is a fantastic plot where some of the best Chardonnay grows, this producer is always consistent good. His vintage is something special and 2006 a very good year, nice balanced with freshness and acid.
