Toasted hazelnuts and pecans on the nose, charry, buttery almonds, green apple so much aromatic complexity. Caramel, bitter lemon, orange, brioche/patisserie elements, like a buttery hot cross bun, some truffle too. Racy, piercing acidity hits the palate straight away along with such tiny, frothy bubbles that fill the mouth. The spine and tension is there, driving the wine forward with a clear vein of citrus acidity - a shot of lemon and lime, while still having the undercurrent of toasted, salty nuts. Nuanced and characterful with a hint of sweetness, sharpness and raciness all giving nuance and interest and building to an impressive whole. Well controlled with balance, construction and a gourmet feel. Made with Premier and Grand Cru grapes: Pinot Noir grapes from Mailly, Cumières, and Chigny-les-Roses, and Chardonnay grapes from Avize, Chouilly, and Vertus. Grapes are aged 12 years on their lees. Dosage 3g/L. Recently disgorged January 2023.

Packed with honeysuckle, citrus, toasted pinenuts, grilled fennel, lemon curd and brioche. Excellent quality, intense but softly-spoken mousse, with a lingering salted almond finish and plenty of lift. Joyau comprises Pinot Noir from Mailly and Vertus, together with Chardonnay from Oger, Avize and Vertus in the Côte des Blancs, entirely Premier Cru and Grand Cru, where 6th generation Florent Roques-Boizel has been president since 2019. 10% new oak, aged on lees for 12 years, 3g/l dosage.
