100% Chardonnay. 2008 base vintage. From 100% grand cru vineyards. Dosage: 6 g/l. Unknown disgorgement date; current release.
Primrose. Hyper-animated, piquant and incisive: wintery citrus pith, smoky crushed stone allusions and bracken intimations of oyster and scallop. A searing structure, with goose-pimpled tension and lingering savor. Vibratory, kombucha finish. Not the lilting delicacy we typically associate with the Legras wines. This is more penetrating and impactful: like waves crashing over rocks. Now – 2018.
Sounds exquisite.
