This is wearing 22 years extremely well. It’s fresh, svelte and self-possessed, and medium- to full-bodied. A gentle biscuity whiff of shortbread, cool smoke and toasty complexity. Undramatic, but with face cream and boudoir notes, honey and white chocolate, and a perfumed meadow breeze. A gently crackling texture, with fine bubbles and a sense of coursing majesty. There’s something steeped and cordial-like behind the superficiality of primary fruit. Not attenuated, the flavours die reluctantly with a wisp of woodsmoke to finish. Very complete and full of life. 62% Pinot Noir from Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Ay, Bouzy, Louvois and Ambonnay; 27% Chardonnay from Avize, Le Mesnil and a fraction from the Montagne de Reims; 11% Meunier from Pierry and Chatillon-sur-Marne. Disgorged: December 2014. Dosage: 9.5g/L.
