Bertrand Delespierre Enfant de la Montagne Champagne

Premier Cru. Mostly from the 2017 vintage with 40% coming from reserve stocks. It is made up of 40% each of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with the 20% balance being Pinot Meunier. It spent 54 months on its lees before being disgorged in October 2022 with a dosage of 2 grams per liter. The nose opens with an aroma set of Gravenstein and Yellow Supreme apples balanced by lemon oil, just there spice, and a touch of clay minerality. The palate is moderate in weight with moderate acid and a flavor set of yellow apples, lemon, mixed fall spices, and a little mineral. This is delightful now, but will last through 2035.
