"This has complex and attractive aromas of apple pie, shortbread, orange rind, candied walnut and salted caramel. Deliciously rich, salty and nutty, with excellent structure and focus. Tight bead of bubbles. Disgorged in 2024. Dosage 3g/L. Drink or hold."

"The 2012 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs MSNL Ch,tillons et Mussettes Grand Cru was picked in the eponymous parcels in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and vinified in stainless steel. Honey and salted roasted cashew appear alongside exquisite creaminess on the nose. The palate is smooth with melted butter and fine foam that underlines the essential, brisk saltiness of the wine. Chalky resonance and energy are sleek and linear on this superb expression of place. Zero dosage. Disgorged: May 25, 2022. - Anne Krebiehl MW"
