Salon Le Mesnil, Blanc de Blancs 1996

Levels into the neck

In 2021, this has all the fine acidity of both the vintage and the Chardonnay grape. So brut tasting, with marine notes plus limes. It needs width in the glass to open out from tautness to fullness - and it can also take more time in bottle, with its strong backbone and authority. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
