Sources du Flagot 2007

Sources du Flagot 2007 is a blanc de blancs of pure Chardonnay. The grapes come from plots that follow the little river Flagot from its springs to Nesle-le-Repons. The chalk soils of the Marne valley give the wine clear minerality and a straight line. Michel Loriot makes it HVE-certified, accompanied by music from Mozart and Beethoven. Only 2,500 bottles were made.

The nose is layered: blossom and cherry plum, with hints of praline and light toasty notes. On the palate this vintage champagne is harmonious, with white blossom, fine spices, yellow fruit and honey. It accompanies starters and fish, such as pan-fried Breton turbot. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a generous white wine glass so the mature notes can unfold.
