Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, February 27, 2024 - Base vintage 2016, 50% reserve wines from 2015, disgorged March 2020 with a dosage of 2.4 gr/l, bottle No. 3990 from 18,500 bottles produced, 12.5% ABV. Made with 100% Pinot Noir from a single vineyard in the Côteaux du Sézannais. Full yellow colour with ruddy cheeks; impressive and expressive nose, not the usual red apple fruit but rather stone fruits (plum, peach) and tangerine, with notes of honey and frangipane, spicy depty; full-bodied and mouth-coating palate, very precise for a wine so richly laden with ripe fruit, resting on a firm foundation of racy acidity and minerality, creamy mousse; excellent resonance and length, peach liqueur. In a beautiful place right now, the 4 years of post-disgorgement ageing have served it well. For my palate, this is at perfect peak. At Maison François, London, UK.
