描述
The Blanc de Blancs 2012 is produced exclusively from the first, purest pressing, of Grand Crus Chardonnay from the heart of the Côte des Blancs: Oger and Le Mesnil-sur- Oger. 20% of the grapes are vinified in small, old oak barrels.
Appearance: brilliant gold, with a sustained, fine effervescence.
Nose: the nose is initially reserved. Little by little, the fresh notes of citrus and grapefruit open up in the wine. This is followed by intense aromas of stone fruit and ripe apricot; honeyed notes and concentrated white flowers sharpened by peppery and even menthol notes. After several minutes in the glass, hints of liquorice appear, alongside toasted bread and frangipane mixed with candied fruit.
Palate: the initial approach is enveloping; its substance is deep, full, almost carnal and punctuated by a slight effervescence. Faithful to the nose, we find the fruit, the salinity, the spice of cedar wood… Strength, yet grace, is uncovered in these successive opens up.
