CHARTOGNE-TAILLET (2018)XBT CHEMIN DE REIMS

Deg 12/2018, this is a fascinating original Champagne, like noother BdB I’ve ever tasted. Oak in obedient proportion, mineral is earthy, sophisticated in an unpretentious way.cépage 100% Chardonnayassemblage 100% 2013village/vyd Single vineyard Chemin de Reims planted in 1981,sandy site with calcareous sand starting at about 50cmmalo Partialélevage Used barriquessur latte 60 months
