  Terroir: Côte de Sézanne
  93% chardonnay, 7% pinot noir
  Fermentation: "malolactique totale"
  Disgorged: April 2018; dosage: 6g/l
  
  The mousse is light and short-lived, but many fine bubbles persist. The eight years or so on lees are immediately evident on the nose of creamy, toasty brioche, but there's also a crisp citrus aspect to it.
  
  On the palate citrus then toast&marmite then back to a green unripe citrus note for a very clean, slightly drying, finish. Overall the feel is not as rich or complex as maybe I had expected. But it's an excellent aperitif fizz to get the juices flowing.
  
  It's OK QPR at the ~US$40 that I paid.
