Aurelien Suenen Le Mont Aigu Blanc de Blancs 2015
Tasting Note
'The 2015 la Mont-Aigu single vineyard bottling from Chouilly is also a brilliant young wine and is really not far off the quality level of the la Cocluette. It was treated similarly to that wine in the cellars, with nine months aging in cask, native yeast fermentation, five years sur latte and was disgorged also in October of 2021, with a finishing dosage of five grams per liter. The wine is aromatically beautiful, offering up scents of pear, lemon, a hint of fresh pineapple, chalky soil tones, crème patissière, orange blossoms and a gentle framing of buttery oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and rock solid at the core, with excellent complexity and grip, impeccable balance, pinpoint bubbles and great length and grip on the zesty finish. This is just a touch more reserved out of the blocks than the La Cocluette, so will ask for a bit more time in the cellar, but it too is going to be superb.'
