  Very interesting wine.
  My notes say this was disgorged 2018. 75% Pinot from Ay, 25% chardonnay from multiple villages, and 3g/l dosage. Very subtle mousse that quickly dissolves.
  
  Pours a striking amber color, more reminiscent of sauternes or an aged spatlese than any rose -- sparkling or still -- that I've ever seen.
  
  There is subtle red fruit present here and a nice mineral-driven finish, but this is showing much more maturity than I'd expect. Lots of oxidative notes, nutty and bready, but superbly elegant and striking.
  
  Although more mature than expected this is quite interesting. I'll need to try more from this producer.
