Disgorged May 2022.
Produced from vineyards in the village of Pierry (Les Rocherets & Corrigot).
Terroir consists of medium deep clay covering bedrock of 50% chalky limestone & 50% flint (silex).
With a golden hue, this wine displays a very fine persistent bead. Biscuit and honey appear on the first nose, followed by aromas of linden and oriental spices, while the fruitiness remains very subtle. Then, the nose expresses an enticing palette of undergrowth, pear, licorice and seaweed.
The attack on the palate is highly balanced, nicely blending smoothness and liveliness. Then, the wine seems to unfold: mouth-watering acidity and creamy effervescence harmoniously give birth to a silky texture. This full-bodied wine displays enough character to enhance the perfect balance of this opulent material, lingering on biscuit & sweet wood notes.
