Tasting Notes
JancisRobinson.com 18.5
44% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier. Base wine 2016, 42% reserve wines (oldest 1998), 6 years on the lees, disgorged January 2023. Dosage 6 g/l.Gentle, creamy, pure citrus aroma and ever so subtly toasty. Clementine, jasmine. So many gorgeous layers. Hint of ginger. This is intense and piercing. Not bone dry, and the sweetness shows a little on the finish at the moment even if it is perfectly balanced. More perfumed as it opens in the glass but the autolytic character is gentle. Orange blossom. So much more perfumed than I expected. Slightly sweet-tasting on the finish. (JH)
