The nose is lifted and precise, with notes of citrus zest, white flowers, green apple, and subtle brioche and mineral tones. On the palate, it is linear and vibrant, with a chalky structure, crisp acidity, and a long, saline finish that gives the wine impressive clarity and drive.\n\nWhile already beautifully expressive, the wine should continue to develop gracefully over the next several years, gaining extra depth, texture, and complexity with bottle age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade from Chardonnay grown in Grand Cru vineyards in Champagne, the wine reflects the region’s chalky terroir, which lends freshness, tension, and minerality.
