Chartogne-Taillet Les Couarres Extra Brut 2020

Mineral-driven and taut, with white pepper, lemon zest and wet stone threading through the core. The clay-rich vineyards of Les Couarres yield surprising softness beneath the bracing acidity. This 60/40 Chardonnay-Pinot blend shows lovely integration but demands patience, cellar for several years to unlock its full potential.
