Le Mesnil Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs NV Champagne
100% Chardonnay all from Grand Cru vineyards within Mesnil-Sur-Oger. This cooperative of growers produces wine from some of the best Chardonnay terroir in all of Champagne. Pale gold with a fine bead. Highly aromatic with a strong bread dough character that gains support from notes of apple, lime, roasted almonds and a hint of caramel. The medium/full body palate offers up a very dry expression of pears and toast that is nicely balanced by the richness of the texture. Delicious and a steal at the price (around $15 less than Veuve and the other big house NV Bruts and significantly higher quality, in our opinion).
Excellent
