70% chardonnay, 30% pinot noir from Verzenay; no malolactic fermentation; aged 13 years on lees
Medium to full yellow colour with an explosive, rich super-complex bouquet of toasted bread and roasted nuts, dried flowers and dried herbs, straw and subtle iced pastry nuances. A fabulous bouquet! The palate has amazing power and mouthfilling richness, tremendous length and a finish that reverberates on and on. An extraordinary wine of great harmony and extension, the layers of flavour & aroma are exceptional and the combination of power and finesse such as we never see anywhere outside Champagne.
