OVERVIEW: “Since 1997

NOSE: Cinnamon Stick

the family firm sits upon France’s upper echelon alongside Mouton

Palate: Notes of coconut

so the wine is clear

and refined complexity — elevated by more than a decade of patient maturation

and the incredibly rare Mizunara (Japanese) oak casks

earth and cellar notes

star anise and hickory dry out the palate before a surprise of chalky effervescent violets fizz to the surface

The still is similar to a copper alembic still with a stainless steel cylinder surrounding it

complemented by subtle notes of custard

TASTING: This is a Grower Blanc De Blancs Brut Nature with a bit of texture and weight
