2015 Michel Turgy Blanc de Blancs Brut

Product description

Quietly in the shadows of the larger houses in the Côte de Blancs, vinegrowing Champagne artisans like Jean-Michel Turgy are crafting characterrich wines based on the traditions of past winemaking generations. Turgy sets himself apart with wines that do more than just reflect the Mesnil style—sumptuous, sensual and richly flavored—but faithfully capture the true character of the region’s unparalleled terroir, a vibrant personality often muted by mass-producing Champagne houses. For more than 130 years, the Turgy family has grown Chardonnay grapes on these chalky soils, and because of this, they can certainly claim to be more than acquainted with the true soul and substance of Mesnil.

TASTING IMPRESSIONS: Aromas of gardenia, honeysuckle, brioche. Flavors of lemon curd, sea salt, toast. Fine-grained and savory.

PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: As an aperitif; with sushi or other delicate seafood
