After a worrying start to the 2012 growing season, a warm summer resulted in good ripeness come harvest. The blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay is all from premier cru and grand cru sites in the southern Montagne de Reims, in Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Avenay-Val-d’Or and Mutigny. Dosage was at 7g/L, and the finished wine was matured in bottle for at least eight years prior to release. Peter Liem: A sophisticated nose shows the elegance and dimensional depth that long lees ageing can bring. On the palate, textural richness and energy. This is delicious now but will increase in character and complexity. Alan Bednarski: Pinot Noir leads with ripe red cherry and blueberry mixed with liquorice, dried red petals and subtle ripe quince. Expressive with all-round appeal. Claire Thevenot MS: Lees ageing brings savouriness and power here. This is still on the young side and has a long life ahead.
