About this Item

Le Mesnil
Sur Oger Blanc de Blancs, 2004
1 (1 x 1) 1500ml

Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs is a type of Champagne that is made exclusively from white Chardonnay grapes grown in the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, located in the Côte des Blancs region of Champagne, France. Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs is considered to be one of the finest examples of this type of Champagne due to the high quality of the Chardonnay grapes grown in this particular region.

Located in the heart of the prestigious “Côte des Blancs” and with 100% of its vineyards ranked “Grand Cru”, Champagne du Mesnil is undoubtely one of the very finest expression of world class hardonnays. This particular cuvee is made by blending various parcels of Chardonnay grown in Le Mesnil sur Oger. The wines used are specially selected for their finesse and ethereal qualities which give the wines their complex and mouth-watering flavours.

Critics Ratings

'Bright yellow. Intensely perfumed, mineral-accented aromas of dried lemon, pear, chamomile and anise, with a smoky overtone. Pliant, deeply pitched citrus and orchard fruit flavors are complimented by suave floral and buttered toast qualities and sharpened by a chalky nuance. The toasty note carries through a strikingly long, creamy finish, which leaves notes of pear skin and lemon curd behind.' - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 92/100 (Nov 2013)
