Champagne at its most profound (and slightly severe). A blend of 50/50 Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir with just 8000 bottles produced, this golden, nutty, oxidatively crafted cult grower Champagne is so serious (and profound) – more ‘wine’ than aperitif Champagne, from one of the leading lights of grower fizz. Aramis, toasted nuts, fresh Hotcakes, golden pineapple, and all these nutty, lanolin-edged oxidative aromatics from the long maturation (eight years minimum before disgorgement). You expect it to be broad after that nose, but it’s its tight and resoundingly dry without being harsh, with this citrus wrench of acidity to finish. Just excellent. Maybe a smidgen too firm for even higher points, but I may also be nitpicking. Very very good.
