At 31 years of age, this is noticeably deeper in colour than the younger wines in this tasting. It is 54% Pinot Noir from Aÿ, Verzenay and Bouzy, and 46% Chardonnay from Avize, Oger, Chouilly and Cramant, and this bottle was disgorged in February 2018. Rich and round, in the style of the vintage, its fruit feels generous and golden in tone yet lifted and energised by sleekly kinetic acidity. Finely poised between freshness and maturity, its exuberant flavours of white peach, rhubarb and Asian pear intertwined with more developed notes of honeycomb, brioche and dried apricot. While delicious to drink now, it doesn't seem to be in danger of decline anytime soon, at least in magnum.
