Made from a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, this wine is bright and golden with shimmering highlights , a lively mousse and lingering threads of bubbles. The bouquet is open and rich yet wonderfully fresh. You get an explosion of ripe yet delicate fruits such as mirabelle plum (from the Pinot Noir), complemented by sweet citrus fruits (from the Chardonnay) and delicate hints of jasmine, which evolves revealing smoky, roasted notes and aromas of freshly baked pastries. The palate is deep and dense with a big, well-structured backbone. A fleshy mouthfeel texture from the Pinot noir, gives way to an incredible saline freshness with a pleasant hint of bitterness. 2018 was a very warm vintage, the summer set many new records of heat, drought and sunshine, this wine combines the strength, intensity and power of the delectably ripe Pinot noirs which are balanced to perfection by the chalky freshness and density from the Chardonnay which forms the majority of the blend.
