Contributor Betsy Andrews offers background on the 150+ year old House, led by Caroline Latrive, one of only a few female Chef de Caves in the region. She adds, “Latrive uses grapes from exceptional years only to create a 100 percent Chardonnay blanc de blancs, redolent of alluring orange notes that distinguish it from other bottles in its category. Its lush, round texture is balanced out by a zesty, mineral finish and lively, tight bubble. This is one delicious celebratory sip.”
