Disgorged in June 2022, Suenen's 2016 Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Chouilly Le Mont-Aigu is showing beautifully, unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet citrus fruit, pear and peach mingled with hazelnuts and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's bright and racy, with a deep core of fruit and a long, penetrating finish. As readers will remember, this bottling derives from a south-facing calcareous outcropping where yields are limited by vine age and leaf roll virus. - WA
