This 750ml bottling bristles with vibrant tension and laser-sharp acidity, delivering a mesmerizing interplay of delicate floral notes and mineral-driven sophistication. On the nose, lemon peel, chalk, and slate mingle with whispers of dried flowers and mint, creating an intoxicating aromatic bouquet. The palate unfolds with brisk citrus elements—bright and zesty—before revealing rare tropical nuances of tangerine oil, passion fruit, and mango that dance across the tongue. Beneath these fruit-forward layers lies a deep, chalky minerality and distinctive iron-rich, sanguine texture that anchors the wine with gravitas and structure. The 2021 vintage showcases an intriguing and harmonious balance between crisp acidity and distinctly tropical flavors—an unusual combination that works beautifully here. This is a Champagne of remarkable tension and precision, perfect for those seeking complexity, freshness, and the distinctive character of a true terroir-driven expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Chardonnay.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eVinification:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermented and aged in neutral 350-liter and 600-liter oak barrels with regular top-ups to encourage slight reduction and protect plot authenticity.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eDosage:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Low dosage of 3 grams per liter (Extra Brut).\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eVine Age:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Planted in 1980, 1995, and 2011.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003eSoil Profile:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e Iron-rich sand resting over an underlying layer of sandstone and chalk.
