2018 Élise Bougy Vibration ML Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Brut Nature Champagne Grand Cru 750ml

2018 Élise Bougy Vibration ML: Grand Cru Le Mesnil Chalk Precision

The 2018 Élise Bougy Vibration ML Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Brut Nature Champagne Grand Cru 750ml showcases the pure, chiseled tension of Champagne’s greatest Chardonnay terroir. In particular, this micro-cuvée is sourced entirely from the 100% Grand Cru terroir of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger on pure Campanian chalk. In addition, Élise Bougy vinifies natively in neutral oak with zero sulfur, zero fining, zero filtration, and zero dosage (Brut Nature).

Tasting Notes for 2018 Élise Bougy Vibration ML

The wine opens with an explosive, hypnotic bouquet of matchstick reduction, roasted hazelnut, Meyer lemon zest, and white flowers. Furthermore, nuanced notes of crisp orchard pear, wet limestone, almond skin, and faint woodsmoke unfurl with breathtaking precision. On the palate, concentrated, textured citrus fruit cuts across the tongue with laser-like focus and mouthwatering mineral energy. Consequently, the finish reverberates with unforgettable saline drive, smoky chalk, and crystalline persistence.

Estate History and Heritage

Élise Bougy has rapidly ascended to cult stardom as one of the most exciting young female vignerons in Champagne. Specifically, she converted her historic family parcels to strict organic and biodynamic viticulture, highlighting unadulterated terroir cut. Moreover, her single-terroir Grand Cru Le Mesnil bottling captures the electrifying mineral essence of the Côte des Blancs.

Today, Vibration ML is produced in minuscule allocations that sell out immediately upon release. As a result, this 2018 bottle stands as an essential addition to any serious grower Champagne collection.
