Dame De Coeur

This is the last vintage of this single-vineyard, 100-percent chardonnay champagne to be called La Dame de Coeur, and as of 2013, it will be labeled with the name of the parcel, Le Mont des Chrétiens. It’s well-balanced as a non-dosé, its rich, ripe flavors of stone fruit and citrus feeling lively and focused without being austere.

True to its vintage, it remains relatively closed for the moment, but it should develop more complexity and length with post-disgorgement age.
