Beautiful cuvée with excellent mousse. It shows both reductive & oxidative characteristics. Meyer lemon, lime zest, pineapple juice and some dried pineapple, dry apricots & yellow & white stone fruits, black cherries, Rainer cherries, green apple, caramel notes, very light yeastiness, bread dough, cream, light saline, ginger, beautiful powdery chalkiness, yellow flowers with greens, excellent acidity with a well balanced, well knitted, elegant and smartly polished finish that lands on minerality & soft spice and lasts 90 seconds.
The name Cuvée 72, derives from…36 in bottle +36 stored at the House…72 months minimum of maturation before shipment. Cuvée 72 is a variation on the complexity of time and development of our Première Cuvée.
Good pair with Jasper Hill Farms Harbison & yellow Nectarines.
The blend is 45% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay & 22% Pinot Meunier. Again, while the label states it is an Extra Brut, its dosage is 6g, which makes it a Brut by being 1g over. Puzzling considering French wine laws.
More than 30 wines whose composition is kept secret, Cuvée 72 is comprised of a system of reserve wines dating back to 1985 along with the latest harvest. It is a selection of first pressing of meunier, chardonnay and pinot noir, a proportion of which (20%) have had their first fermentation in oak barrels.
