Wine Description:
Mandois Le Clos Champagne is a rare and exquisite expression from the Champagne region, originating from a walled vineyard, or 'clos,' which provides a unique microclimate and terroir. Mandois, a house with deep roots in the Champagne tradition, is recognized for crafting wines that reflect the distinctiveness of their origins. This cuvée is the pinnacle of their range, created from carefully selected Chardonnay grapes that thrive in the chalky soils and embody the minerality of the land.

Wine Expert Note:

Mandois Le Clos Champagne greets the eye with a golden straw color and a lively effervescence that promises celebration. The nose is a bouquet of refinement, featuring crisp green apple, ripe pear, and a hint of citrus zest, interwoven with delicate notes of brioche and fresh pastry, a nod to its lees aging. On the palate, it is vibrant yet creamy, with a precise balance between the rich texture and a razor-sharp acidity. Flavors of lemon curd, white peach, and a flinty minerality lead to a long, seamless finish that echoes with a subtle toastiness. This Champagne is not just a drink but a statement, showcasing the pinnacle of what a single vineyard and expert winemaking can achieve.
