Written Notes

Labruyère Grand Cru Prologue Brut NV (AUD$109), which was a 70/30 Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blend, entirely from Verzenay. Tirage (bottling) was April 2, 2014 with disgorgement on May 17, 2019. Dosage was a very low 1.6 grams/liter. Always good to have such information made available on the back label. Ten percent of the blend was reserve wine from 2012 added to the base wine from 2013.

Recently, some other champagne geeks and myself indulged in one of those discussions – fascinating to us but likely to bore anyone not obsessed by champagne absolutely rigid – about whether or not Verzenay can give its wines a slight bitterness (in a good way). I believe it can and I am not certain I have seen a better example than this wine.

There was an immediate note of bitter almond, followed by spices, stone fruits, grilled nuts, and a minerally background. Hints of marmalade and a glacé lemon hint. Crisp acidity. This was intense, balanced, and finished with a lovely touch of grapefruit and biscuit. Loved it. 94.
