Monday, April 30, 2018 - 2009 disgorgement
Notes taken from a glass poured after about 1.5 hours of decanting.
Medium-plus gold color. Signs of effervescence - bubbles coating the glass.
A pronounced aroma of yeast, evident from far away. Bringing the glass closer to the nose, a lemon scent with a slight acetic acid quality (slight VA) like lemon infused vinegar, then scents of lime peel, chalk, old wood, white flowers, hints of almonds and hazelnut, medium-aged cheese rind, as well as a top note of green herbal shrubbiness. So quite a complex nose,
On the palate, a tart green apple quality shows itself, as well as a light pleasant salinity. Wonderful evolution on the palate, from light-medium-bodied to a more rich quality where the cheesy lees builds body, then right at the midpalate it gets lighter again, with an oxidized Savennieres quality.
Really quite nice.
93 points.
