Le Brun Servenay
Brut Millésime Vieilles Vignes Champagne
Avize, Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France
Absolutely smashing! Captures everything I love about Champagne: terroir, freshness and purity, lees and autolytic notes with a dollop of post disgorgement bottle age. Perfect harmony of reductive, oxidative, and tertiary elements coming together. At its lower atmospheres this gained a gorgeous vinous feel too it which had me thinking Batard Montrachet at times. Tangerine marmalade, succulent and ripe asian pear, poached apple, pineapple, spring honey, toasted hazelnut, sweet cream, brown butter, chalk, orchard blossoms, salt, brioche. 100 CH, 5.5 g/l, 9 years on lees, 4/2014 disgorgement

Great expressive nose, full of bright fruit and pastry-like notes. An interesting slightly oxidized feel, with a long apple finish. Drinking perfectly now, but might be at its peak.
