50/50 pinot noir and chardonnay, disgorged 07/2015. No indication of base vintage, but likely 2012 assuming this gets around 2 years on the lees.
This feels driven by its pinot noir portion, with aromatics of raspberry coulis and some yellow fruits. There's also some brassy minerality on display, with plenty of fruit sweetness but nothing out of balance.
Leftovers were just a delight on day 2.

Good yellow fruit. Some yeastiness, but not at all overpowering or oxidative in nature. Nicely balanced with good acidity.

Disgorged October, 2014. 50/50 pinot noir and chardonnay aged 9 months in barrels. Pleasant and stylish, with pleasantly developed and slightly oxidative palate. Palate is fairly tight though, and quite dry, feels like extra brut.

Delicious. Nice energy. Tart red berry fruit. Meyer lemon notes, nutty finish. Definitely pinot dominate. A bottle bought in early 2012 so not sure of base years but likely 2007/2008 or so. Aged surprisingly well.
