Tasting notes
All grands and premiers crus. 50% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne. 50% Chardonnay. Aged on lees for six years. Dosage 9 g/l . Tasted blind. Smells a bit like putty. Quite rich and vibrant. Flattering. Chardonnay ascendant. Reminds me a little of a California Chard. Creamy, slightly sickly. The least impressive wine of the tasting. 2009? (JR)

Vegy edge to the nose. Then quite pungent and with definite sweetness. Competent. Tight knit. Lightly ginger beery. (JR)
