A rare sub-$100 "Special Club" that's full of the aromas of seashore, baking brioche, crisp pear and ripe apple fruit and just a hint of freshening citrus. It's 100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vines in Chouilly done in steel and aged on the lees for 48 months before being disgorged and aged further from November, 2022. Finished Extra Brut, it's plenty dry, but with a core of generous and ripe spiced pear fruit. Delicious.
Special Club Champagnes come from the 28 grower/winemakers how make up the Club Tresors. To earn Special Club status, the base wines (pre-bubbles) have to come from a top vintage, pass a strict early taste test and then a second juried tasting after four years or more on the lees. Elite wine here at a lot less than elite prices!
For You If: You enjoy a generous, rich tasting, Champagne that still has plenty of vigor and finishes dry.
Not For You If: You're looking for sharp or austere - this is relaxed and easy but still sophisticated.
