95 POINTS: Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Aged 11 years on yeast lees for extra complexity and richness.
An exceptional summer, dry and warm, lead to high ripeness and perfect maturity for the grapes, with balanced acidity. 2009 is undoubtedly a great vintage. Sourced only from Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. 53% Pinot Meunier from Montagne de Reims 47% Chardonnay from Côte des Blancs Boasting a complex nose with refined white peach and citrus fruit from the Chardonnay and brioche notes and great autolytic complexity from extended time sur lie. A generous, well structured palate, with plush fruit notes and rich texture thanks to a high level of Pinot Meunier. Low vineyard yields and respectful winemaking ensures a long , fine finish.
