Marguet Père & Fils, Eléments Grand Cru Extra Brut

A blend of 67% 2010 vintage and 33% 2009-2004 vintages, disgorged in September 2014 after 38 months in bottle. This is a steely, mineral driven style of Champagne, with a nose of lime and green apple. The palate is tight and concentrated, with a crisp backbone of minerality. Green apple and lime flavours are followed by cream and brioche. This should open up with some bottle age.
