"Based on the 2018 vintage and Emelie's first vintage as the chef de cave the NV Champagne Essentiel Extra Brut is 44% Pinot Noir 34% Meunier and the rest Chardonnay with 27% reserve wine. It’s aged for four years prior to release with 4 grams per liter dosage. A brilliant pale yellow hue the NV Champagne Essentiel Extra Brut is fresh and inviting with a rounded and floral profile offering pure notes of orange blossoms fresh brioche and fresh peach It reveals a pure ripe character on the palate with a rounded mouthfeel a pillowy mousse balanced notes of grapefruit citrus and a touch of warmth from the vintage. A very attractive wine it will certainly have the potential to age over the coming 10 years. - Audrey Frick"
