The 2020 Stéphane Regnault Mixolydien No. 119 Grand Cru Extra Brut 750ml is an artisanal Champagne of dazzling mineral energy.

Tasting Notes for 2020 Stéphane Regnault Mixolydien No. 119

The wine opens with pure aromas of green apple, lemon confit, crushed chalk, and white floral blossom. Furthermore, nuanced notes of warm pastry, fresh almonds, and oyster shell minerality emerge with time. On the palate, a delicate mousse carries a crystalline line of citrus acidity across the palate. Consequently, the finish lingers with vibrant saline tension, chalky grip, and remarkable Extra Brut poise.
