About the wine
Tasting notes
Fresh and vibrant with energy and a tight physique. A master stroke in restraint over power with lemon confit, marzipan, tangerine oil, mint and white pepper, backed by the signature mineral streak of Mesnil. Drinks with wonderful purity and laser focus.

Blanc de Blancs
French for “white of whites”, Blanc de Blancs is a sparkling wine made entirely from Chardonnay grapes. Made famous in Champagne, these wines have an incredible purity and linearity about them and express with intense lemon and apple-like fruit flavours, usually with an underlying seam of minerality and precise acidity.
