Champagne Sadi Malot 'Les Crêtes' Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut

Sparkling wine. Villers-Marmery, Champagne, France. Organic. 100% Chardonnay. "The Sadi Malot 'Les Crêtes' bottling of non-vintage Blanc de Blancs Brut is crafted from a parcel of vines that are forty-five to fifty years of age. The vins clairs are fermented and raised in six hundred liter casks and the wine is aged for fifty-four months sur latte prior to disgorgement in July of 2019. The current release is from the base year of 2014 and includes fifteen percent reserve wines. The pure and vibrant bouquet offers up a blend of apple, white peach, brioche, spring flowers, chalky soil tones and fresh almond. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and very elegant in profile, with a fine core, frothy mousse and lovely length and backend mineral drive on the complex finish. This is a lovely bottle." — 92+ Points, John Gilman, View From The Cellar #87 (May/June 2020)
