Champagne Sadi Malot 'Les Suzaines' Vintage 2017 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut
$70.00
Sparkling wine. Villers-Marmery, Champagne, France. Organic. 100% Chardonnay. "The 2017 Sadi Malot 'Les Suzaines' Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut was disgorged in January of 2021. The wine is still very young, but also quite promising, offering up a bouquet of tart pear, green apple, chalky minerality, bread dough, raw almond, dried flowers and a gentle topnote of smokiness. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and tightly-knit, with a rock solid core of fruit, fine mineral drive and cut, frothy mousse and lovely focus on the well-balanced and still quite primary finish. This is still a puppy and will need some cellaring to relax structurally, but once it blossoms, it will have a long life of fine drinking ahead of it." — 92 Points, John Gilman, View From The Cellar #95 (September/October 2021)
