Tasting notes
This must be one of the most beguiling and refined expressions from the Côte des Blancs in 2018. While the vintage can sometimes lean toward simplicity, Minéral retains a remarkable tensile precision, layered nuance, and intricate detail.
Sourced from some of the estate’s chalkiest, shallowest soils, it unfolds with aromas and flavors of white peach, dried flowers, and bitter almond, underpinned by a saline edge. The palate is lithe and persistent, carried by an interplay of slate, umami savor, and apricot-kernel richness that leap across the senses.
