“This shows complex aromas and flavors of walnuts, raspberries, dried apples and a hint of mushrooms. It’s salty, rich and flavorful on the palate, with a medium body and very fine bubbles. Wonderfully long, with crushed nut and cocoa butter notes coming through at the end. Pinot noir from a single vineyard Chambre aux Loups) in Ay. Disgorged June 2022. Drink or hold.”

“Confident and assertive, the rich, full nose offers the slightest hint of wild strawberries, grilled cashews and citrus flowers. A bright burnished gold colour accurately suggests richness, but this wine is still especially tightly wound, with a very long acid line carrying the flavours lightly through a lengthy palate. It will take some time in bottle before this recalcitrant begins to yield. Drink 2024 – 2038.”
