91 VM. "(60% chardonnay and 40% pinot noir, raised in older barriques Yellow-gold. Musky peach and nectarine on the nose, with hints of poached pear and smoky lees and an exotic note of wild strawberry. Fresh and incisive but deep in orchard fruit and floral flavors, with notes of cherry pit and hazelnut emerging on the back half. Subtly smoky on the finish, leaving behind notes of spicecake and red fruits. This is showing very good energy for a Champagne from a hot vintage." Vinous, Nov 2010 |
