The 2017 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Les Hautes Mottes Grand Cru is from a single parcel of vines in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Lemon is suffused with salty, cool polenta on the nose. The taut palate is accentuated by fine mousse on a slender, salty lemony palate that just takes you deeper and deeper into the chalky soil. This is slender, refined, profound, elegant, but also alive with energy and a lasting umami finish. Dosage is 4.9gr/L. Disgorged: November 4, 2022. - By Antonio Galloni on October 2023
