A stunningly vibrant Blanc de Blancs that could easily pass as Extra Brut. Excellent interplay of lemon freshness, creaminess and racy acidity on the elegant palate. The long and expressive finish makes me think of waves crashing over a rocky shoreline! A cuvee based on wines from the Grand Cru villages of Chouilly (44%), Cramant (24%) and Oger (5%), but because base wines from the 1er Cru villages are present – Cuis (21%) and Vertus (6%) – it only qualifies for the 1er Cru designation. Drink or hold.
