l'Extra Brut'

Score

92

"The intensity of the 2022 season comes through in this fine Chardonnay from four plots in Villers-Marmery, presenting a beautifully heady blanc de blancs of white peach, lime, charred bread and white pepper notes, packed full of bittersweet citrus peel. It's dry at Extra Brut, but the sheer presence of fruit and gentle sweet-nut roundness on the palate makes this an immediate pleasure."

"The NV L'Extra Brut, 100% Chardonnay from Villers-Marmery, offers tons of character as well as energy. There's plenty of Margaine tension but more than enough depth to balance things out. Dried lemon peel, white flowers, sage and white pepper build effortlessly. There™s a touch of oak fermentation that helps build texture. All the elements are so well balanced. Dosage is 3.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: January, 2022."

"This elegant Champagne is lithe and refreshing, with the delicate mousse carrying a well-meshed range of juicy pear and white peach, biscuit, verbena and blanched almond. Minerally finish. Disgorged November 2025."
