"The (2011) Brut Millésimé Fins Lieux N°5 is a wine of tension and understatement. All the elements are nicely balanced. The Blanc de Blancs is soft, open-knit and caressing, with lovely balance of fruit and the brighter, more acid-driven profile that is typical of Champagnes from Le Mesnil . . . . The 8 grams of dosage seems very well measured, as it appears to give the wine an extra bit of mid-palate pliancy it probably would not have had with lower dosage."

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.
