Gaston Chiquet Grand Cru d'Aÿ Blanc de Blancs Brut 2005

Exotic and compelling from this Pinot Noir stronghold. White truffle, candied citrus and stone fruit create a lush, perfumed profile that's surprisingly expressive for d'Aÿ. The texture shows real depth and resonance, with that distinctive chalky minerality cutting through the richness. A standout in an otherwise patchy vintage.
