Tasting Notes
Alfred Gratien Blanc de Blancs 2017. From Grand?Cru vineyards in the Côte?des?Blancs region, this 100% Chardonnay has a pure, mineral backbone with crisp acidity. Flavours of brioche and almond, whilst extended lees ageing, adds textural depth and a creamy mid-palate. A refined blanc de blancs that balances precision and elegance beautifully.
