EPC Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2022

The second wine in this set of releases from a new producer, the name EPC is apparently a play on the word ‘epicurean’, this is 100% Chardonnay, of course (as a Blanc de Blancs). It is sourced from the Côteaux du Sézannais, which is located to the south of Épernay. Pale lemon/yellow in colour, the nose offers aromas weaving their way through notes of grapefruit pith, lemon curd, chalky notes, seabreezes, citrus and white jasmine. It is well balanced with a lingering finish and a fresh light acidity running the length. This is a delightful aperitif style which should be very attractive at any time over the next half dozen years.
