Description
65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay
"Juicy, ripe citrus bouquet (Roussillon apricots), followed by a surprisingly lively and fresh aromatic waltz of aromas, blending red berries (wild raspberries, blackcurrants, blueberries) with cocoa powder, mocha and gingerbread. Dynamic on the palate with magnificent vitality and energy, in which we find an endless interplay between freshness and substance with a fabulous acidity cutting through the body of the wine. The wine has a vinous quality about it, with a lovely texture that leads to a powerful, bitter citrus f inish firmly rooted in its terroir." - Louis Roederer
"Initially earthy nose showed sweeter aromas of red berries as it opened in the glass. Fat, supple and fruity, with a moderate dosage and a sweet toasty nuance. Not especially complex but nicely fresh and persistent." - 87 points, Stephen Tanzer (2003 review)
