A 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and (Pinot) Meunier; mostly sourced from the 2011 vintage (40%) with the balance from 2010 and 2009.
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The C. de Pinots NV pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe apple, toasted brioche, split almonds and lemon bar and spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The DNA is there and showing a slightly more oxidative style. Drink now. Disgorged July 2016. — 3 months ago

Jasmine, quince paste, spiced pear, lemon curd, pineapple sweetness, punchy. Touch of lemon pith at end, but tons of juicy acid. Creamy / lactic. Chalky minerals. Layered, delicious, weighty.

A thrilling expression of Champagne’s forgotten varieties. Electric acidity, astonishing purity and breathtaking finesse. Dense yet feather-light, with extraordinary sapidity, epic length and an unbelievably refined mousse. Completely distinctive. — 21 hours ago
Words almost fail here. Monumentally fine and utterly complete, combining substance with incredible elegance and purity. Everything is perfectly integrated. One of those Champagnes that simply feels inevitable from first sip to last. — 21 hours ago
Fresh, lively, apple flavours maybe a bit weak on the finish but very enjoyable — 5 years ago
Beautiful aromas of brioche, pastry and subtle yeast lead into a remarkably complete palate. Huge flavor and concentration without heaviness, driven by tremendous salinity and one of the finest mousses imaginable. Long, sapid and profoundly elegant. — 21 hours ago
One of my go-to California Chards. All the hallmarks I like. Oak notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and brioche toast, but balanced by high acid and minerality. The best of both worlds. — 2 months ago
Elegant one, citrus and Lychee. Chalk mineral. Thomas Fogaty Gewurztraminer Monterey County 17 @, Calist, 250920,90
