Country: France / Or Blanc Blanc de Blancs Brut
Variety: Chardonnay Champagne
Winery: Benoît Cocteaux / Champagne
From vines to the south of the Côte des Blancs, this estate-grown Champagne has much of the same tight texture and minerality. It is taut and crisp while keeping plenty of room for apple and citrus fruitiness. This fresh wine could certainly take some bottle aging. Drink now, but better from late 2016.
