“Signé François, Vieilles Vignes”, Millésime, Grand Cru, Blanc de Blancs, Brut Zéro

A vintage Champagne from the finest soils of the Grand Cru village of Cramant (and a bit from a GC holding in Chouilly) and drawn from the oldest vines of the family’s holdings; aged for 5 years prior to being disgorged. The wine’s depth and richness is extraordinary, voicing the sappy and dense character of the fruit François wrests from these old vines. Notes of pear tart, fresh figs, baked apples and cherries frame a vibrant, expansive palate, and the wine’s chalky core shows itself in a clinging, salty finish.
