Sunday Lunch: From a magnum. Still has a young-looking, bright color that's just starting to turn yellow, but it tastes perfectly mature, with a rich, almost sumptuous mouthfeel and flavors. It isn't exactly honeyed but it definitely does suggest a sort of confiture of blanc de blancs flavor. It was discussed that this comes from a spot where the pinot grapes are more highly regarded, which accounts for why this is on the rich side for a chardonnay Champagne.
