Jacquart - Blanc De Blancs Champagne 2015
Jacquart Description
93 Points James Suckling
This has paired back aromas of lemon citrus with hints of grilled peaches and a fresh mineral edge. The palate has impressive depth and fruit flesh. Five years on lees has rounded the palate out nicely as it now delivers smooth lemon-curd flavors. A fresh, crisp and mouth watering finish. Drink now.

Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
This features a mix of fruit from Grand Cru and Premier Cru villages on the Côte des Blancs and the eastern end of the Montagne de Reims. It is now mature with softened acidity and minerality still evident but also touches of toast and spice. Drink this Champagne now.
