"The 2017 Extra Brut Monts Ferrés, 100% Chardonnay, is a very pretty, open-knit wine. Apricot, orchard fruit, chamomile and crushed flowers build effortlessly through the mid-palate and finish. Silky contours wrap it all together in style. The 2017 gains textual resonance and breadth with a few hours of aeration. It's a gorgeous wine in every way. This bottling emerges from four parcels in the Monts Ferrés lieu-dit in Vertus. Dosage is 0.8 grams per liter. Disgorged: May 28, 2024."

"A bright golden color, the 2016 Champagne 1er Cru Vertus Blanc De Blancs Mont Ferres Extra Brut is ripe on the nose, with a sunny feel, offering notes of lemon curd, spice, chamomile, and a savory seaweed element. Medium-bodied, it has broader shoulders on the palate, with a chalky, pithy texture, an angular, fully dry feel, and a persistent, savory finish. It™s going to show its best over the coming 8-10 years. Disgorged July 2023."
