1997 Champagne Salon, Le Mesnil, Blanc de Blancs, Brut

The intensity of flint, dried honeysuckle, jasmine and chalk comes through so clearly now. Full-bodied yet balanced and pure, with a sense of perfection and such harmony and balance. Goes on for minutes. You want to drink it now, but it will go on forever.

98/100, James Suckling (July 2024)
