Rich and complex Blanc de Blancs with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and a chalky minerality. On the palate it reveals a pleasant texture and excellent length. The minerality returns and may even show a light saline touch with nuances reminiscent of a Chablis Grand Cru. A true stunner and a great send off to 2020.
