Product Details

In 2012, Champagne faced one of its most demanding and intricate years on record. Despite the challenges presented, adversity often paves the way for greatness. Unpredictable weather conditions and low yields defined the season, yet the continental climate towards its conclusion yielded exceptional levels of ripeness. This resulted in wines of remarkable richness, full-bodied character, and structured complexity, rivaling the finest vintages in Champagne history. The nose exudes richness and complexity, showcasing hints of zesty and candied fruit, including lemon, intertwined with delicate floral notes of white flowers, roasted hazelnut, and Madagascar vanilla. With aeration, the aroma profile evolves, revealing opulent nuances of freshly baked pastries and smoky undertones derived from bottle aging.

On the palate, the wine offers a delectable, concentrated texture with a pronounced chalky quality. It displays remarkable tension and precise aromatic expression. The initial impact is bold, distinctive, and concentrated, unveiling a luxurious, velvety texture characteristic of the ripe Pinot noirs harvested in 2012.

Press Reviews

92JAMES SUCKLING

Such attractive, fresh, floral aromas here with fine bread, hints of white almonds and a lemon edge. White cherries and strong, chalky minerals, too. The palate has a very composed feel. Seamless and quite silky texture with effortless length and flow. Very fluid and composed. Very late, warming almond flavours. This is very long and smooth with a velvety finish. Super long pinot weight. Resolved and drinkable, but will age so well.
