Neil Beckett | Champy's ebullient, experienced, and talented technical director, Dimitri Bazas, jokes that he might have a fling with Beaumonts but would marry Suchots. I can see why. Only one barrel of this in 2016, but it's a beauty (which will be bottled unfined and unfiltered). A cashmere softness, despite a little residual CO2, coating a magnificent structure, and the perfectly pitched acidity gives the impression of precision to match the volume. Fabulous, flourishing finish. | 92
