Made from 100% Pinot Meunier from the Vallée de la Marne and from Chavot, fermented in barrique and foudre, 30% rosé de macération, 10% vin rouge and 60% vin blanc (of which 40% vin de réserve), dosage 2.5 gr/l, disgorged March 2023. No detailed notes, but the fruit struck me as particularly impressive and beautiflly layered.
Bottle No. 201 from 432 produced. It was already very late and it had been a very long day, but this wine had no difficulty whatsoever in grabbing my attention. Spectacular expression, griotte, deep and sweet, energetic, precise and pure and silky-smooth, very seductive, silky tannins. Star quality.

Identical to my previous note. Palo blanco really shines in this vintage.
