A new and exciting grower Champagne on the place from Alexandre Bonnet based in Les Riceys in the Côte de Bar. This is made from a single-vineyard, south-facing plot called La Forêt, using a mass selection of Pinot Noir from vines planted in 1973. Gorgeous light pink colour to the rim, more like a white wine really. Spiced black pepper and strawberries on the nose, smells great. Enticing. clean and crisp, such gorgeous flavours of red berries, soft spices, vanilla and oak. I like the subtle sweetness despite no residual sugar, it has a vertical depth that comes in layers with red cherry, raspberry and cranberry fruit - crisp and so pure. Refreshing and excellently made. intense, focussed and totally moreish.  Ageing 39 months on lees, disgorging without dosage or sulphur. 1,312 bottles, 50 magnums and 20 jeroboams produced. In addition to ecological viticulture practises, the bottle has a water-saving cotton label and uses recycled silk paper. 3.04pH.
