The 2008 Extra Brut Champ d'Alouette Grand Cru is a pure Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger that spent 14 years on lees. The nose is savory with both fresh sour cream and melted butter. Evolution is evident in a touch of fresh white field mushroom and salty white miso creaminess. The palate is a marvel. There is not a wrinkle, just youthful brightness that expands palate and mind by virtue of its super-fine, creamy mousse. What must have been austere depth has metamorphosed into a picture of salty, luminous elegance. This is not about fruit, although lemon figures in that freshness, this is about profound chalk and its salty, primal pull. Exquisite, long, memorable.
Dosage is 4gr/L. Disgorged: July, 2023.
