A blend of 42% Chardonnay, 39% Pinot Noir and 19% Pinot Meunier. Disgorged March 2013, dosage 5 gr/l. Rich and spicy, fresh but mouthfilling, harmonious, complete, good weight but elegant, the long lees ageing really gives an extra dimension, hint of honey, lovely length. Nothing out of place, an excellent performance.
Silky and seductive, violets, American oak, hint of tar, fresh and elegant, creamy blackberries, clean flavours, good intensity, gentle tannins, very good length. A wine of finesse.
Cool, elegant, spicy slate, strawberry, rosehip, undergrowth, blackcurrant leaf, very pure, linear, no lack of substance or intensity, charming, bright, subtle phenolic grip, good length.
Brut de fût, 47.5% ABV. Rich amber gold, green meniscus; rich nose, spices, chalk and candied fruit, woody warmth, deep, slightly hot, flowers; very intense and concentrated palate, flowers and crystallised violets, has real drive and energy, satiny and powerful; very good length.
