Characteristics

Clos Du Mesnil 2006 is a vintage blanc de blancs Champagne consisting entirely of grand crus chardonnay grapes. "The harvest of 2006 grapes showed balance similar to 2002 and 1989, which were also beautiful and generous years."

Tasting Notes

Nose: "On the nose there are delicate aromas of citrus, barley sugar and dried fruits with balance and freshness."

Palate: "On the palate it is generous and round with beautiful intensity. The initial hints of madeleine cake and brioche give way to notes of pastry, tarte tatin, lemon meringue, bitter orange and a little spice. The finish is long, with great tension and notes of candied ginger."
