La Guette Premier Cru 2008 (0.75l)

The 2008 La Guette is a cuvée from the winery's finest Premier Cru plots. 100% Chardonnay, disgorged after 13 years on the fine lees in October 2022 and with 4 grams of dosage added. A very fine, elegant, fragrant nose. Very chalky, chalky-mineral character, very delicate brioche and yeast notes, and fine citrus fruit. Balanced on the palate, soft and creamy, with sweet butter and brioche caressing the palate, a very fine, soft perlage, and wonderfully balanced acidity. This is a perfectly mature Blanc des Blancs with subtle tones, a soft, velvety texture, and a simply beautiful drink in its elegance. Unfussy, truly fine stuff!
