Gorgeous green apple, lemon, biscuit, lemon meringue pie nose and palate within a chalky, minerally texture. Very well-judged and remarkably long. Kapow! Drinking it is a treat.

Chardonnay from three of the Côte des Blancs villages gives a strongly mineral character that has benefited from five years aging to produce a tight, taut wine that is just reaching maturity. Drink now.
