The nose is open and layered, offering citrus, green apple, toasted brioche, and a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet graceful, with a well-balanced acidity that carries notes of ripe fruit, nuts, and baked bread through to a long, complex finish.\n\nWith its extended aging, this Champagne has developed greater depth and textural richness while retaining the freshness that makes Chardonnay from Champagne so distinctive. It is drinking beautifully now, though its layered structure suggests it can continue to evolve gracefully over the short to medium term.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from the Champagne region, this Blanc de Blancs reflects the cool-climate terroir that gives the variety its purity and tension.
