Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France
Pale gold with tiny bubbles that don’t stick around for too long. Creaminess abounds. The nose is magnificent with notes of honeydew, pears, and nectarines. As it matures in the glass, those familiar yeast and floral aromas really come to life to mingle with the citrus.
A very pure expression of Chardonnay mostly from Premier Cru vineyards in Cuis with the rest coming Chouilly, Épernay, and Cramant. Disgorged on January 3, 2020 after spending seven years on lees. And that fact shows. As with most of the 2012 champagnes, this is ready right now. Showing complexity and brightness. Plenty of tension and character.
Bright acidity and creaminess throughout. The palate is just starting to fully express itself and will only get better. Apricot, nectarine, and biscuits primarily in the mouth. Medium length finish. As terrific as it is now, it’s going to be a star down the line.
