Blicker Pierce Wagner Wine Merchants, Napa CA.

Négociant Manipulant wine.  100% Chardonnay from premier cru vineyards in Vertus.  Base vintage plus reserve wines.  Aged three years on the lees and six+ months in bottle post disgorgement. Dosage: 8 g/l.  Current release.

Yellow-gold.  A fragrant lemony splash and the wine is slim and cerebral until the toasty mid-palate.  Piquant floral saltiness at the end.  Now.
