Tasting Note
Pale, crystalline gold with typical glints of the Chardonnay varietal. The aromas of mature Chardonnay can be recognised initially: white peach, candied citrus with notes of lime, honeysuckle and fresh hazelnut, giving way to subtle hints of tangerine and lemon. Freshness and tautness mark this typically Charles generosity; the attack is pure and forthright, not aggressive but almost unconventionally sauve for a Blanc de Blanc, so often en characterised as sharp rather than creamy. The harmonious finish offers surprising minerality and a slight salinity.
