NV (10's)

Champagne Vintage 2011  / Pinot noir especially stood out this year, while pinot meunier was a ected partly by attacks. The winter came unusually early, in November of the previous year, but a mild late spring still led to a owering in May.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is yellow, and looking clear and light. On the nose it is wide, complex and opulent. The taste is fresh, round, fruity, elegant, silky, vivid, and dry, and high in acidity, with balanced structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has violet, apricot, mineral and white fruits flavours. The finish is long and gentle. This wine is sophisticated,well-rounded and excellent. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years. Good value for money.
