Nov 11th, 2018Seriously lush aromatics. Powerful fruit which cascades across the palate- doesn't taste like, but drinks like young Riesling. Fruitiness out in front balanced by the acid & mineral core. Fantastic stuff. Disgorged 2014. All 2008 vintage.

On the palate, it's medium-bodied, and fresh with a delicate creamy mousse and strawberry, red currant, apple, flavors and an appealing minerality. Long finish. 13% Chardonnay, 76% Pinot Noir, 11% Pinot Meunier; Cumiéres; 78% oak foudre and 22% enamel tanks for fermentation and aging; No malolactic fermentation; 10 g/L dosage
