A blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir; 80% Vertus, 20% other PC/GC; 40% vin de réserve, vines > 40 years old, 6 gr/l dosage. Lovely NV, pure, complete, elegant, good weight, fine flavours and length. Does Fourny proud.
Not too sure about this but certainly not too keen on it. Completely mature, soft, ripe apples and earth, good weight but lacks acidity and mineral energy. May be a less than perfect bottle - assez bien but not what Trimbach FE 2002 should be iike at 12 years of age.
The (in)famous Brangelina rosé, made by the Perrin brothers of Château de Beaucastel. An exemplary Côtes de Provence rosé, complete yet elegant, well-balanced, lovely fruit, delicate, subtle grassy notes, mineral energy, good length. Well done.

Identical to my previous note. A thoroughly fabulous Shiraz, at the peak of its powers.
