Disgorged in June 2015 with 0.8 grams per liter dosage, the 2018 Blanc de Blancs Vertus Monts Ferrés soars from the glass with aromas of nashi pear, cherry plum and orange oil mingled with almond paste. Full-bodied, ample and enveloping, simultaneously grandiose and lively, it is laden with ripe yet racy acidity and concludes with a long, saline finish. It has turned out particularly well within the context of the extreme vintage. As ever, it is sourced from a lieu-dit in Vertus where the vines are affected by the court-noué virus, yielding fruit of greater maturity and concentration, and it is vinified entirely in oak.
