“Delicate and racy with sweet lime, white pear and green almond aromas up front, although there’s some lemon madeleine richness tucked into the fluffy, gentle mousse. Narrow, pure yet not austere in style, it’s a zesty and ultimately refreshing, reductively styled blanc de blancs. From 12 crus of Chardonnay, with 30% reserve wine addition.”
