Clos du Château de Bligny 6 Cépages Brut Nature Champagne

This is a Champagne outside of the box. Aromas of dried apples, iron filings and pie crust with peach tarte tatin follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate with fantastic character similar to the nose with so much flavor at the end, but it is tight and pointed at the fresh finish. A gorgeous and rare Champagne made with six grape types from the region, including pinot noir, chardonnay, pinot meunier, pinot blanc, arbane and petit meslier. Drink or hold. Score – 96.
