A rare and highly sought‑after Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne made entirely from Chardonnay grown inside the tiny, walled 1.84‑hectare Clos du Mesnil vineyard. It expresses crystalline purity, chiselled minerality, and incredible precision — balancing citrus‑driven brightness with layered orchard fruit and brioche complexity. Its overall character is elegant yet powerful, with a distinctive tension and remarkable aging potential.

TASTING NOTES
-

Citrus zest, white blossoms, brioche, almond and hints of citrus peel; subtle floral and mineral nuances. -

Crisp lemon and green apple core, fine pastry and toasted brioche, mineral flint, with layered citrus and white stone fruit richness. -

Long, refined and chalk‑driven, with lingering citrus, saline tension, and a delicate spiced brightness.
