blend of têtes de cuvée. The fruit comes from the villages of Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry. A fine, elegant, yet powerfully mineraled Champagne that is textbook blanc de blancs from one of the finest growers in the Côte des Blancs.

Creamy and flavorful, yet it remains precise and vertical, with an array of lemons, green apples, pie crust, almonds, hazelnuts and chalk. Medium-bodied with creamy, fine bubbles. Lots of energy, with zesty citrus notes at the end, seamless and chiseled, evocative of citrus oil, buttered toast, mint and fresh bread. terrific. Bright and focus, with terrific depth, the Terroirs is a very pretty wine in the more affordable part of this range, so to speak. Citrus, white flowers, mint, crushed rocks and spice are all nicely delineated. There's a very good balance of richness and energy here.
