Domaine de la Croix Montjoie, Blanc Brut, Crémant de Bourgogne, Burgundy, France NV

A relatively young estate, Domaine de la Croix Montjoie was created in 2009. The 10-hectare vineyard is planted on deep clay limestone that contains fossils, on south / southeast facing slopes. Majority Chardonnay, with 20% Pinot Noir, this has a lovely depth of flavour, and harmonious complexity. Yellow plum, pain d'épices, nuts and toast, it's all there. It's Brut in style, but with an attractive fruit sweetness. Lingers on the finish. Dosage: 8g/L.
