Drinks more like a red wine than a champagne. Nice fruit, balanced. Haven't had many PM dominant champagnes but this has turned me on to it. Would love to try this again and take proper tasting notes next time.

A 5,004 bottle cuvée, single-vineyard, 83% PM, 17% PN. Light red colour rather than pink; perfumed, exotic almost, spices too (cinnamon, clove), deep; wonderfully juicy, dry but smooth, salty minerality; excellent length, estery cherries. Delicious 2003, now - 2013. On the terrace at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons.

Clear dark raspberry core of moderate intensity - small bubbles in a steady stream. Clean nose with lots of cherry, strawberry and spicy/jammy aromas. Dry on the palate with a bright strawberry entry then becoming cranberry - interesting fruity entrance then dry and slightly bitter flavours. Very rich on the palate. The finish is full on Pinot Noir spice and fruit - long and well balanced. Very well done!
