A rich, single-parcel Blanc de Noirs from Ambonnay Grand Cru, this 2017 shows ripe Pinot Noir depth with a creamy mousse and a fresh, chalky spine. Expect toasted brioche, baked orchard fruit, and a mineral, slightly saline finish. The oak élevage and extra-brut dosage keep the wine broad but not heavy, giving it a polished, gastronomic feel. It can appeal to fans of more vinous, Côte des Blancs-style prestige bottlings, though with a darker, Pinot-driven profile.
Serve with roast chicken, duck breast, or mushroom tart.
