Review

"The NV Extra Brut Mon Village Grand Cru is a pure, old-vine Chardonnay from Le Mesnil sur Oger, based on 2021, supplemented with a perpetual reserve from 2018-2020 that was kept in barrel. Fresh yeast and green apple flash on the shy nose, fleeting but distinct. Lightness is the main characteristic of the slender body, fringed by a touch of apple pip bitterness. This is beautifully mount-watering and very youthful with its recent disgorgement. It will benefit from just a little longer in bottle when it will be a sprightly aperitif of slender brightness" - Vinous
