A fine pounded Peter. 2016 base of 70 P 30 C, disgorged Nov 2021. The better the cru, the less bubbles and chill for me to enjoy it. Thoroughly. - at Frenchy’s Hideout in Hillcrest. — 18 days ago

This stunning bottle of bubbles is made with 100% Pinot Noir coming from a lieu-dit in the heart of Bouzy called ‘Les Maillerettes,’ which is the Paillard family’s oldest vineyard parcel originally planted in the 1970s and propagated through selection massale.

It was barrel fermented and aged sur lie for 48 months (4.5 years), well exceeding the legally required minimum aging of 12 months on the lees (36 mos in total) for a vintage champagne, a demonstration of patience and commitment to quality!

This wine was disgorged in December of 2023 and has since enjoyed some time aging in the bottle allowing its elements to further integrate and evolve. It could easily continue down this path, gaining complexity for many years to come.

In appearance, it has a deep gold hue (w/ flecks of rose gold).

Its aromatic profile is layered & multifaceted with vibrant notes of red apple skin, cider, raspberry, dried bergamot & poached pear with cinnamon spice, next to richer notes of cherry clafoutis, red licorice, baked quince, almond paste, nougat, marzipan, toasted hazelnut, & brioche with a spine of minerality including wet stones, chalk, & saline notes.

The palate is dry (extra brut!) with a medium body, creamy mousse & mouthfeel, mouthwatering acidity that lends balance & lift, and a long elegant finish. — 25 days ago
