Total SO2 below 35mg/l. 12% alc.
This is stunning, and you would be hard pressed to find a better grower Champagne at this price. Immediately fine and mineral, with lots of sea breeze, raw almonds, apples, stone fruit and subtle oxidative notes. The bead is incredibly fine, and washes over your palate effortlessly. Perky and lively, with a gentle caressing mousse. Many flavours appear as it opens up, showing great complexity. Long in the mouth, with a chalky, salty finish. Extremely impressive.
