Gardet Tradition Cuvée Saint Flavy Brut Champagne

[Expect similar quality and character if the lot number differs.] A strong bottling of this well-priced champagne (Lot# 61K-1401G – check the back label), Gardet’s latest cuvée Saint Flavy is a properly toasty and autolytic example, but also vibrant, crisp and fresh and particularly dry. I like the balance on the palate, the succulent acids, and the impressive depth of flavour. You won’t find much better than this from champagne at this price to be sure. Tasted March 2022. Score – 91. (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com)
