Marc Hébrart Spécial Club Brut 2006

Mint, white pepper and crushed blossoms open with quiet authority, aromatic without being showy. Fine bubbles carry a silken texture through the mid-palate, where stone fruit and citrus peel gradually take hold. Fifty months on lees from Mareuil sur Ay, Oiry and Chouilly vineyards brings a seamless cohesion rarely found at this price point, the chalky finish arriving with unhurried confidence. Restrained and beautifully composed.
