Eight years on lees, this Champagne draws on vineyards in the crus of Les Mesnil, Avize, Averney and Ay for a toasty and chalky experience. Fruit characters of apricot and white peach, jasmine tea, perhaps some apple and pear in there too - we'll see as these characters unfold and develop over the next 20 or so years. Wonderful now but will reward patience.
