With its 100% Chardonnay, this Champagne is finely textured, elegant with minerality and the freshest crispest apple flavors. It does have some weight and certainly has intensity-a satisfying, textured wine that is ready to drink.

(full malo; 9 g/l dosage; LAH9T): Light yellow-gold. Smoky citrus and orchard fruits on the deeply perfumed, mineral-tinged nose. Offers broad, toasty orange and pear skin flavors with an undercurrent of dusty minerals. Picks up floral and ginger nuances with air, along with hints of iodine and tarragon. Rich yet lively blanc de blancs with powerful back-end lift and finishing grip.

Classic and springy, with a pastoral, fresh feel and a bright pale straw hue, the NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs Brut is the calling card for the house. This release is based on the 2020 vintage, with some reserves from 2019 and 2018, all raised in stainless steel tank and lifted with 7 grams per liter dosage. Opening to floral aromas as well as a note of salted white grapefruit and a hint of soft, chalky earth, it offers a fluffy mousse and a juicy palate, with notes of candied apple in a medium-bodied frame. A sleek and refreshing Champagne with an approachable kiss of sweet, ripe fruit, it's going to hold up over the coming years, but I would prefer to enjoy it young to preserve its freshness.
