"Initially subdued on the nose, the 2017 Ultra Brut is 67% Chardonnay and 33% Pinot Noir and opens with citrus with leesy aromas before showing a lighter frame with a mineral undertone. It's light to medium-bodied, with a fresh, succulent and delightfully weighted palate with a textual expression. It will remain food friendly for years. 35,194 bottles were left on the primary lees for six months before bottle aging for 5-6 years prior to release."
