Champagne Pierre Bertrand Cuvée Emmanuel Soullié Blanc de Blancs 2018 (750ml)

Brilliant pale gold with a fine, persistent bead, the 2018 Cuvée Emmanuel Soullié Blanc de Blancs opens with a poised and intricate bouquet—white flowers, lemon cream, chalk dust, and toasted hazelnut, underpinned by subtle pastry and flint. The palate is sculpted and elegant, with Chardonnay purity at its core: flavours of green apple, grapefruit pith, and almond unfurl over a crystalline mineral backbone. Partial oak vinification adds quiet depth without overshadowing finesse. The mousse is silken, the acidity vibrant, and the structure composed. The finish is long, saline, and finely etched. A refined and characterful vintage cuvée—precise, contemplative, and expressive of its Mesnil-rooted origins.
