The 2018 Extra Brut La Goutte d’Or shows all the richness of 100% Pinot Noir but in a stressed site that confers notable tension. Kirsch, citrus peel, white flowers and chalk abound. Tense and vibrant, with gorgeous depth, the 2018 is so impressive. Emerging from a chalky site in Fontaine-sur-Aÿ with almost no topsoil, there is a sincerity to this wine that is hard to express but very much present. Dosage is 2 grams per liter. Disgorged: November, 2022. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2023)
