- Description
- Manon Boutillez-Guer's Rayon de Lumière is a Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature made entirely from Chardonnay grapes grown in Villers-Marmery on the Montagne de Reims. Disgorged with minimal dosage, it shows the chalky minerality and fresh stone fruit typical of north-facing Chardonnay slopes alongside brioche, honey, and honeysuckle aromatics. The palate is elegant and precise, with a dry finish that emphasizes terroir over richness. A meditation on Champagne's geological character rather than its sweetness or power.
