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

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

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.
