Apple and pear lead a clean, focused aroma with cool citrus freshness and a faintly reductive mineral edge. The palate is dry and well defined, combining lively fruit with good body and a fine, persistent mousse. Freshness keeps the texture poised rather than broad. The finish is long and precise, leaving crisp orchard fruit, chalky structure and restrained savoury depth.

Old-vine Chardonnay from a chalk-rich Verzy parcel gives this grand cru Champagne focused citrus, white flowers and mineral tension. Its vinous texture carries into a finely persistent finish.
