Tasting Notes
Vinous 95
The 2015 Brut Classic Cuvée is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Meunier grown on Wealden Clay in East Sussex. The wine spent 5.5 years on lees and opens with smooth notes that combine salty shortcrust pastry with baked clams and an ocean breeze. The palate is beautifully slender, fizzes gently with fine, creamy mousse and gives full rein to rich salty notions that suggest oyster shell, beurre noisette and toasted cashew. This intense saltiness lasts and lasts, lining the creamy palate of this sleek and utterly gastronomic wine to perfection. A wonderfully evolving wine that is superbly fresh, utterly elegant and deeply savory. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: September 2024.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2035
