Community Tasting Note

Jan J Likes this wine:

Saturday, January 23, 2021 - Tasted as part of an online masterclass with Pierre Larmandier. A single-vineyard, vintage Blanc de Blancs from 2013 harvest, deg. 2019, 0 g/L dosage. All the way from the Latitude NV to the Terre de Vertus 1er the Pierre traces the differing topsoils as the main distinguishing marker. In this case, there is virtually no topsoil, and the soil is again chalk. It starts very powerful upfront before the chalky minerality takes over. Aromatically intense, powerful, with beautiful leesy complexity from extended aging. Incredible presence and creaminess, it is round, yet mineral, and highly structured. It goes on and on and riches receptors that are rarely activated, going deep into one's tongue. This is akin to eating a creamy sauce without any fat added to it, or liking oyster shells and eating them at the same time. Great stuff.
