Les Maillons Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Champagne Pinot Noir

Pretty and fragrant. Light strawberry and minerality. Very good

Very leesy and yeasty.

D: 03/2019

Excellent grower Champange in the NV (2008) amber in color-rich, deeply concentrated flavors of roasted French Coffee, cardamom and cream.

Head scratchingly delicious. Medium plus to high acidity. Over ripe apple and pear, white peony tea, bergamot.

Floral Tea, mint, and acid. Delicious.

Nose similar to Volnay. The Pinot is so obvious on this. So much concentration of cherry, rhubarb and red flowers

the top

Floral and focused.

2013 base. Elegant, focused nose countered by palate of intense, powerful red berries and toast. Heady structure and length for days. Searing mineral. Needs time to resolve. A wine worth saying compelling for.
