White flowers, almond, orange and apricot on the nose, backed by a whisper of cream and toast. The palate opens frank and well-balanced — gourmet citrus, clementine and orange especially, with a touch of delicate vanilla echoing the nose. Bright, defined acidity keeps the whole thing lifted rather than rich, even at magnum scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harvested in September 2015, with 15% of the blend deliberately aged without malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness and lift. Tirage followed in 2016, with disgorgement in 2020 and a Brut dosage of 8g\/L — light enough to let the vintage's natural generosity show without tipping into richness. Bottled here in 1.5L magnum, which slows the wine's ageing curve further still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Le Mesnil is the trading name of the Union des Propriétaires Récoltants, a growers' cooperative founded in 1937 in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Today it draws on roughly 600 growers farming around 300 hectares — 100% of it now classified Grand Cru. For decades the cooperative has quietly supplied base wines to some of Champagne's most prestigious houses, including Krug, Moët \u0026amp; Chandon, Veuve Clicquot and Taittinger, while also bottling its own cuvées under the Le Mesnil name since the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Le Mesnil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43205259264098,"sku":null,"price":269.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/files\/LeMesnilSublime.png?v=1740118634","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/champagne-le-mesnil-grand-cru-brut-sublime-2015-1-5l-magnum","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
