Guy Charlemagne 'Cuvee Charlemagne' Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut 2008 Champagne (750ml)

*100% Chardonnay from Grands Crus of Le Mesnil and Oger. 

*1st fermentation & malo done in stainless steel tank.

Tasted in early Sept.

Initially discreet and elusive. With more aeration, it gradually reveals delicate richness and fine length. Exotic citrus and cream, lifted by fine acidity. Sleek, sensual & complete. Firm chalky minerality leaves a lasting imprint on the mid palate and the precise, fragrant finish.

Le Mesnil raciness skillfully wrapped up by Oger roundedness. This is already voluptuous & agreeable at such young age, but its fine balance promises nice ageing potential for more coffee-like complexities.
