This is 100% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, rich, with a surprisingly delicate quality, round yet mineral. It features a rose-like nose with citrus and ginger, and in the mouth hints of biscuit and breadcrust. Fantastic with rich, creamy seafood dishes especially. 91 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: (made from fruit grown in the grand crus Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant and Avize): "Light, green-tinged gold. High-pitched lemon, lime, talc and quinine aromas show very good clarity. Very dry, but there's impressive heft and body to its juicy orchard fruit and bitter citrus zest flavors. The dry finish displays very good energy and mineral-driven persistence."

Graduation dinner! High acid with well balanced brioche flavors. Bread dough on the nose. Paired well with calamari and shrimp fritti.

Well-made, creamy Blanc de Blancs. One of the creamiest Champagnes I have had. Maybe not my favorite style in that there is little fruit flavor, and perhaps a little expensive, but no one could say that it’s not an exemplary Blanc de Blancs and a classic.
