A blend of 63% Pinot Noir, 10% Pinot Meunier and 27% Chardonnay from the 2014 and 2015 vintages.Tasted Yesterday: Light pink with a touch of copper at the core. More intense nose this time around (also open for longer than the first time) - a complex med+ set of fresh red berry and zesty orange and other citrus fruits, and a chalky minerality. On the palate a core of chalky minerality is wrapped in the sappy and juicy red raspberries and spring strawberries, mandarin. The palate is med/med+ in weight with racy acidity. Finishes clean, fresh and long!93 Wine SpectatorRichly spiced, soft and creamy in texture, this well-cut Champagne layers clove and cardamom notes with blackberry, biscuit, white peach and sliced almond flavors.
