Score 95/100 · James Suckling, Jul 2024
A structured and broad-shouldered blanc de blancs with very tight bubbles and layers of spices, dried citrus peel, toast and minerals. Very expressive, complex and layered, honing in at the end with precision and plenty of firmness. Integrated phenolics give this tension for a hot vintage. Lightly bitter at the end. 100% chardonnay from a single parcel in Ay. Drink or hold.
