Stéphane Regnault‌ Coteaux Champenois ‘Dorien’ No°19

The palate is precise, chalk‑etched, and quietly powerful, opening with lemon oil, white peach, and green apple carried by the electric tension of Mesnil’s pure chalk. A mid‑palate of almond, crushed stone, and subtle flint reflects both the terroir and the restrained oak élevage, giving the wine depth without weight. The texture is silky yet linear, with a fine phenolic grip that frames the fruit. The finish is long, saline, and crystalline, tapering with citrus pith, chalk dust, and a cool mineral hum.
