Community Tasting Note

Lehto Likes this wine:

Saturday, May 4, 2024 - 100% Chardonnay from the 2021 harvest, fermented and vinified in 300 liter oak barrels. Disgorged 16 November 2023 with 4 g/l dosage and just 2,120 bottles made.

Really impressive concentration, structure and depth in this champagne - the barrel is just used so well and perfectly integrated.

On the nose it's quite tight and feels extremely young, but there's some lovely notes of lime, lime zest, white peach, brioche, oak, cold butter and chalk.

The palate is where the concentration and depth really shines with lemon, lime, green apple, grapefruit, oak, toasted brioche, churned butter, chalky minerals and some unripe tropical fruits.
Towards the finish the acidity gets a bit too overwhelming for me with a very green and unripe feel and pure lime juice. It really deserves more time for the dosage and acidity to integrate better, but with 2-3 years of bottle ages I think this will start to show perfectly.
