Tasting note
Cumières Chardonnay should offer lemon zest, crisp apple and a delicate floral lift, with a subtle savory impression beneath the fruit. Expect the 2015 Les Chênes Brut Nature to feel taut and dry, its lively acidity and fine bubbles giving the palate a brisk, chalky texture. Though beyond its listed horizon, it may retain a focused citrus finish with a faint almond note and a lean, persistent edge.
