About This Wine
96 Points From Antonio Galloni, Vinous
"The 2008 Extra Brut Champ d'Alouette Grand Cru is a pure Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger that spent 14 years on lees. The nose is savory with both fresh sour cream and melted butter. Evolution is evident in a touch of fresh white field mushroom and salty white miso creaminess. The palate is a marvel. There is not a wrinkle, just youthful brightness that expands palate and mind by virtue of its super-fine, creamy mousse. What must have been austere depth has metamorphosed into a picture of salty, luminous elegance. This is not about fruit, although lemon figures in that freshness, this is about profound chalk and its salty, primal pull. Exquisite, long, memorable."
