The dominant presence of ripe Chardonnay from 2017 gives this wine a generous and mature fullness The nose is deep and complex, with multi-layered aromas of citrus fruits and acacia blossoms and a pleasant salty, note. The taste is quite nuanced and developed. Very fresh, focused, and floral with notes of apples, wet sand, flint, and butter cookies. A very fine acidity and dynamic finish.

Aromas of cooked apple, bread dough and lemon tart follow through to a full body with round, delicious fruit and a rich, flavorful finish. Yet, it remains tight and fine with lovely, compressed bubbles. New energy and freshness. Medium-to full-bodied with layers of fruit and vivid intensity. 42% chardonnay, 36% pinot noir and 22% pinot meunier. 8 grams dosage. Four years on the less. A new-format non-vintage that designates the year of the 242nd harvest, 2017, plus reserve wine of 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.
