Description

"100% old-vine Meunier on clay-limestone. Mostly vintage 2016 with reserve wines from 2014 and 2015. Disgorged June 2019. Dosage 9 g/l. Smoky citrus, stones. Top note of honeysuckle. Has the stern mettle of Brut Nature but it's not as skinny as many, and there is also an underlying fleshy curve of stone fruit as well as a touch of fresh mushroom. The perfect wine for crunchy, salty cheddar! Good length. Drink 2021 2025." 16.5 / 20 points. (Tamlyn Currin, Jancis Robinson Purple Pages, July 2021)
