Description
94 Points! Wine Spectator. Intense color with copper glints. Very small, sparkling bubbles. The initial nose reveals a saline, mineral background, then notes of red fruits (Morello cherry, wild strawberry, redcurrant) and some more toasted notes of hazelnut, cocoa bean and sweet spices. When agitated, these empyreumatic characteristics are accentuated, while the aromatic complexity of the great Pinot Noirs is ever-present. In the mouth, it is plump and full of substance. The texture is crisp and silky. The tannins are still present, calling for a cuisine with texture to bring out the best in this wine. The finish is long and coats the palate. The tannins are already very well integrated and can be expected to blend in still further over the coming years.
53% Pinot Noir, 47% Chardonnay

Delicate flavors of white raspberry, toast, candied ginger and smoky minerality are seamlessly knit in this vibrant rosé Champagne, slowly expanding on the palate into the lasting finish of fruit, saline and sliced almond. Disgorged September 2014. Drink now through 2030.
Copper-colored with aromas of dried grapefruit, oyster shells, cherry stones and hints of button mushroom. Rich and flavorful with earthy and sweet spice elements throughout. Soft bubbles. Rounded and honeyed with a lengthy finish. 53% pinot noir and 47% chardonnay, all grand cru, of which 15% red wine made from pinot noir from Clos Colin in Bouzy. 8g/L. Disgorged 2019. Drink now.
