this is a seriously dry wine. arnaud margaine works each harvest to create freshness and a totally crisp texture, generally dismissing malolactic fermentation. it is balanced, allowing the fruitiness to shine through the tight, mineral texture from the predominant chardonnay in the blend that comes from a mere 16-acre montaigne de reims vineyard surrounded by pinot noir. it could age through 2015 in bottle to be even better.
