Andre Jacquart Ex Mesn Blanc D Blanc

100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger. Fermented in 2-3 year old Burgundian barriques, no-malolactic fermentation. Aged on lees for 6 years. Brut Nature dosage (0gr/L). Toasted bread notes on the nose from the aged Chardonnay. Ideal for Champagne collectors. Can age for at least another decade. A precise, crisp, bone-dry character with mineral notes, with a rich, exceptionally balanced palate and lengthy finish. This will pair with refined poultry dishes, veal rib and Asian cuisine.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant pale gold, persistent and fine bead. Smoky minerality reminiscent of Meursault Perrieres. Ethereal fruit, almost as though a food foam of granny smith apple and a bit of girolle mushroom. Light entry, again, like a fog or cloud, ethereal and light yet so expressive. Almost as though it had intensity of flavor without being wet. Laser-like focus of fruit, precise and defined flavors of Anjou pear, granny smith apple, chanterelles, almost like an infusion or tea of intense flavors with lively, creamy, and exceptionally refined bubbles. Elegant powerful, and yet light, almost dreamlike consistency.
