With a moderate yield, some early season heat and a good retention of acidity, the 2017 is both aromatically inviting and reassuringly ageworthy. With orange citrus, jasmine, sweet toasted almond and richer pear tart flavours building, this ultra fine blanc de blancs is cut with a dash of smoky, charry energy and citrus syrup length, already expressive yet bound to ramp up the nutty, toasty headiness with further time.

The very next year he took the unusual step, at that time, of journeying to the United States to sell his Champagne. In fact, he was the first Champagne producer to visit the U.S.A. \"Champagne Charlie\", as he became known, was a gracious gentleman and a born salesman, personally selling 300,000 bottles of his Champagne in the U.S. in one year!

Nature had us fearing the worst with a series of climate events representing a potential catastrophe for our vineyards. The spring brought violent attacks of mildew, torrential rains, hailstorms and cold snaps during flowering, followed by sunscald and water stress that drove yield down by 30%. But a beautiful, sunny August enabled slow maturing and good concentration in the grapes, resulting in a late harvest. The grapes proved to be of excellent quality: rich in sugar and good acidity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlend: 62% Pinot Noir including 9% red wine, 38% Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eDosage: 9g\/l\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTO THE EYE: A magnificent coppery golden robe offers glints of tangerine with a delicate, dynamic effervescence.\u003cbr\u003eON THE NOSE: The initial nose is an invitation to indulgence with ripe fruit and toasted, smoky notes reminiscent of the wine’s native mineral soil, giving way to a riot of fruity notes of pomegranate, blackthorn, quince and fresh almonds with a touch of blueberry.\u003cbr\u003eON THE PALATE: The attack is frank with abundant freshness, signature of its noble composition.
