Unusual Chardonnay

Composition: 100% Chardonnay, alcoholic fermentation in oak barrels, malolactic fermentation in fermentation tanks. Numbered bottles, limited edition of 700 bottles. 3 Gr/L added sugar.

Aromas: the nose is lively with notes of ripe, white-fleshed fruits. On the finish, notes of citrus peel take the lead. On the palate, this champagne is incisive, pure, and long at the same time. It surprises with smoky notes that come from the alcoholic fermentation in oak barrels. The tension is very present despite its aging. A champagne of great, long-lasting freshness.

Recommendation: Perfect as an aperitif, also as an accompaniment to oysters and other shellfish, fish or cheese (Comté).

Award: 15.5/20 Gault&Millau
