Champagne Regis Poissinet Terre d`Irizee, extra brut, 12% vol.

This cuvee is a blend of 84% Pinot Meunier and 16% Chardonnay - from several vintages, including a solera-style reserve wine that makes up about 40% of the finished blend. The complexity is immediately apparent, with aromas of mandarin blossom, pink grapefruit, white peach and mirabelle plum - all framed by toasty flavors of croissant dough, marzipan and baked walnut tarts. Golden apples and cinnamon take shape on the palate, leading the champagne to a clean and smooth finish. This is a champagne that is young and powerful in its youth, but has the depth and structure to allow for exceptional development over the next few years. A stunning new discovery from an emerging producer from the Cote de Bar, the southernmost part of Champagne.
