Light, bright yellow. Potent citrus and orchard fruit aromas show a good dose of smoky reduction, along with notes of honey, chamomile, jasmine and iodine. Spicy and broad on the palate, offering chewy pear and Meyer lemon flavors that tighten up and become spicier with air. This complex Champagne finishes with strong grip, repeating smokiness and persistent mineral and floral qualities.

Bright and floral lemon citrus nose. This has a gentle thread of sweet spices and a subtle background with a yeasty edge plus nice clarity. The palate has similarly direct crunchy lemon citrus fruit, and acidity is assertive. The texture will benefit from some time on cork to smoothen and settle.
Wine Spectator
A linear version, backed by racy acidity, this offers a minerally, smoke- and chalk-laced underpinning, with flavors of yellow plum, lemon peel and ground ginger. Moderate finish. Disgorged June 2018. Drink now. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 300 cases made, 250 cases imported.

Varietal: Champagne Blend

There are few areas in the world with a reputation quite as famous and respected as that of Champagne in France, and almost every wine region on earth has imitated or has been influenced by the careful process mastered by the wineries of Champagne. However, it is in the grape varietals which thrive in this region where the secrets to the Champagne's success can be found – the acidic, flavorful Chardonnay grapes meeting the characterful Pinot Noir varietal, and coming together to produce something wonderful in the bottle. There are actually seven varietals allowed by French wine law for the production of Champagne wines, all of which are used by wineries to accentuate each others finest points and maintain the reputation of this very special region, the home to some extremely high quality grapes.

Region: Champagne

The beautiful north-easterly region of Champagne in France is famous around the world for the production of the exquisite sparkling white wines which characterize the region. All over the globe, bottles of wine from Champagne are celebrated and enjoyed, and their fame has come about through generations of expertise and experimentation, and a dedication to quality which raises the bar for producers of sparkling wines everywhere. The vast majority of grapes grown in this special region are of the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Petit Meunier varietals, the principle grapes used for the production of Champagne sparkling white wines. The region itself is far cooler than many other important French wine regions, but this hasn't stopped the dozens of wineries in Champagne from making their distinctive and much-loved produce.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
