"Bright yellow. An intensely perfumed, mineral-dominated bouquet displays scents of Meyer lemon, green apple and nectarine, picking up notes of ginger and lemongrass with air. Incisive citrus and orchard fruit flavors are underscored by chalky minerals, which give the wine an impressive, almost painfully sharp concentration. This very young wine finishes with terrific thrust and chalky persistence."

The northerly region that gives its name to the world's most celebrated sparkling wine, made by secondary fermentation in bottle from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Chalky soils and a cool climate yield wines of finesse and longevity.
The sole appellation for true Champagne, producing sparkling wines of finesse and complexity by traditional method from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
