About this wine

Pur Mesnil 2018 showcases the singular personality of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, sourced from three chalk-rich parcels – Le Tilleul, Les Zailleux and Les Hautes Mottes. Like Pur Avize, it is vinified in stainless steel with malolactic fermentation and aged several years on lees before disgorgement, with a very moderate dosage around 3.3 g/L. The bouquet is pure and lifted: white fruits, lemon zest, white flowers, ripe orchard fruit and a delicate menthol note. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping yet extremely precise, with bright acidity, pinpoint bubbles and a long, mineral, almost ethereal finish. Compared with Pur Avize, Pur Mesnil shows more flesh and precision, and it will only gain in complexity with time in bottle.
