rounder and more Meursault than Chablis but still with citrus freshness and pungent flavors and always some spice (curry) because of the aging in barrel with flor

Charles Heidsieck, Reserve Mise En Cave other_regions_australia rounder and more Meursault than(L6042811646) Green gold. Vibrant citrus and pear aromas, with complicating herbal and floral accents. A chewy, medium bodied Champagne with orange and lemon flavors, a hint of smoke and a buttery note that carries through the finish. Nicely balanced between bright and rich qualities, and persistent on the aftertaste. Josh Raynolds
