Champagne Stephane Regnault - Mixolydien No.45 NV

The creamiest and the most luscious of all the wines from Stéphane. Chantilly cream, nashi pear, subtle spice and a more-ish preserved lemon quality. Colour like spun gold, there’s a savoury, hay bale characteristic that meshes quite well with all the fruit and cream. Almost glittery with acidity, needs a minute to unfurl, but when it does, wow. Lovely.
