Sourced from Le Mesnil Sur Oger, this Blanc de Blanc is a 100% Chardonnay bottling produced from a few small parcels in this remarkable appellation. This amazing bubbly expresses all its generosity and grand delicacy with its very harmonious flowery nose, and in the mouth expresses hints of apple and honey with a nice golden color and a very seductive froth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClotilde is an homage to the first queen of France, is a Blanc de Blanc Cuvee from the Grand Cru vineyards of Michel Turgy in Les Mesnil – Sur – Oger. .

It was disgorged in April 2024. It springs from the glass with lively scents of lemon curd, fresh grapefruit, and honeysuckle, leading to hints of marzipan, baking bread, and chalk dust. The dry, refreshing palate is light on its feet with great intensity, very fine bubbles, and a racy backbone, finishing long and creamy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 Points - Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA smoking value in Champagne, the NV Champagne Grand Cru Brut offers a clean, crisp, medium-bodied and acid-driven style that offers up a great perfume of pear and orchard fruits as well as salty citrus and toasted nuts.
