(90-92)/2021+

the wood influence is subtle though not imperceptible on the slightly cooler aromas of lavender

This resembles closely the nose of the villages as the composition of the aromas is similar except here there is greater elegance and a bit more complexity as well

(from Chapelle proper)

the palate grows in austerity

de Saint-Gall, Orpale Blanc de Blancs other_regions (90-92)/2021+This is a beautifully mature Champagne, with ripe Chardonnay from the Ctes de Blancs now just hinting at toastiness. The wine's freshness is still apparent so that the balance with maturity is just right. Drink this fine wine now, but also age. Roger Voss
