2019 - Hugo
From a delightfully easeful vintage, nice rain, no disease, good yields! Tasting beside the vines - it’s viscerally apparent that this is a wine that sings of it’s origins, more so than much autolysis-leaning Champagne. One feels the chalk, 2019 in particular is profoundly direct and on-target.
