A deep golden hue, the colour reflects the time spent in barrel and the maturity of the vintage. It is edged with amber highlights that catch the light, announcing a wine of character, shaped by patient ageing.
On the nose, the expression is forthright and generous. Aromas of dried fruit (almond, hazelnut) mingle with toasted, lightly spiced notes inherited from the oak barrel, while a mineral edge recalls the chalky origins of the Moussy terroir. The palette is dense and layered, revealing several aromatic strata as the wine opens up.
The attack on the palate is bold and fleshy, carried by a rich, concentrated body. The roundness of the Chardonnay is balanced by a saline freshness that structures the whole and lengthens the finish. The oak, well integrated, adds depth without ever dominating, leaving a sense of fullness and harmony.
