Perle de Chardonnay Millésime 2016
Champagne Mathelin | Brut Nature | Vintage 2016
A few words about the "Perle de Chardonnay" – Millésime 2016 from Mathelin.
Without looking at the label beforehand, the moment was exciting, because I never would have guessed this was Brut Nature. I would have thought more of a tight Brut – or a softer Extra Brut.
The wine seems amazingly round, calm and balanced. No aggressive edge, no austere zero-dosage character. Instead, depth, maturity and an elegant structure.
Tasting Notes
