17. Champag
ne
A Millesima exclusive in partnership
with Becky Wasserman. This superb
Blanc de Blancs is produced by a
proprietaire-recoltant or grower with a
20-acre estate, principally in the
village of Chouilly. The family
employs a traditional 4,000 kg vertical
wood press which permits a
low, delicate pressure. Pure
Chardonnay, this Grand Cru
Champagne is the epitome of finesse.
The aroma is focused and fine with
delicate notes of toasted baguette, cold
butter and yellow fruits. In the
mouth, this Champagne has a
vivacious mousse and a
wonderful, refreshing intensity
together with skillfully judged dosage.
