Winemaker Notes Winemaker Notes: Bright, deep champagne hue. Very delicate, even and restrained bubbles. The bouquet reveals impressive intensity and depth: the high proportion of Meunier, combined with Pinot noir, brings notes of sun-ripened yellow fruits (mirabelle plum) and orchard fruits (William pear). The Chardonnay is equally impressive, adding lovely warm notes of pollen and soft white flowers with a hint of vanilla. With aeration, the autolysis comes through as chocolatey, lightly roasted spices reminiscent of baked apples. The palate is fleshy with a lively freshness. The juicy fruit brings a caressing, creamy volume but without any heaviness. It is pure indulgence - a truly delicious sensation like biting into perfectly ripe, freshly-picked fruit.The soft bubbles are essential here, providing a creamy lightness while channelling the energy of a very subtle touch of tannin and bitterness. The long, drawn-out finish is soft and concentrated, revealing chalky, saline and mouthwatering overtones. 44% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, 26% Meunier Show more
