100% C, disgorged Jul 2019, dosage 2.5g/l, 941 bottles, creamy aroma of almond, bready notes, aggressive bubbles, with med acid, finish. Drinking very nicely particularly after an hour. Rounded on the palate.
One of more exciting new growers on social media, trepail 1er, 1964 vines, vinified in 11 months in 100% new 300l oak, malo fermentation, bottled 5 Jul 2021, 30 months aging, disgorged 1st Dec 2023, 1503 bottles, 50 magnum, reductive at first, saline, chalky, asparagus, fresh with high acid and low bubbles. In fact the bubbles disappeared quickly becoming almost like a still white. An intellectual champagne
Trepail Les Hauts Bouitais, old vines from 1962, vinified 23 months in 228 l barrels, bottled 25 Jul 2022, aged 21 months, 932 bottles, rather muted both of the nose and palate. High acid, good precision. Probably needs a bit of time to integrate in the bottle.
100% C, elevage in 500 l barrels, tirage 19 Jul 2018, disgorged 20 Dec 2021, dosage 2.5g/l, 1516 bottles, aroma of gooseberry, mulberry, candied like ricola sweet, good acid with med finish.
