Another stonker! Aromatic, rich and intense. It properly grips the lateral palate and holds it brilliantly. Loads of pink grapefruit with a sprinkle of sugar and exotic fruit. Fantastic!

Press Reviews

"A beautifully matured, complex and taut cuvée from Chouilly (from the cool northwestern parcel Derrière Partelaine) and half-vinified in old oak. There’s plenty of expressive brown butter, honey-nut and toasted spice richness here, but the baked apricot fruit is surprisingly fine and narrow, perhaps thanks to the cool 2013 vintage. This still holds all of the crispness and refreshment value of a fine Blanc de Blancs, but plays delightfully with age and oak – 93"
Côte des Blancs Report, Tom Hewson – Decanter July 2024
