"1995 was a classic year, halfway between oceanic and continental. It was very balanced between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and this blend is 53% Verzy Pinot Noir, 47% Chouilly Chardonnay. Some 22% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation, and 7% fermentation in oak. The original was disgorged at 12g/l dosage, while for this series it was 9g/l. Deeper gold than the 1990 (possibly due to more botrytis and also 20% malolactic), this blend, disgorged December 4, 2011, is ripe, almost exotic, in aroma, perfumed and smoky, with a lovely buoyant texture of bubbles; there’s a light, salty-smoky, iodine touch that makes the mouth water with its vivid, salty freshness and fine balance; a crowd-pleasing, balanced style that’s impossible not to enjoy."
