About This Champagne
The wine is vivid and tightly wound, with power held on a short leash.
2012 threw almost everything at Champagne: winter and spring frosts, torrential rain, hail and cold during flowering, then summer heatwaves.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Powdery white flowers and apricot, with rhubarb, mint and a smoky, ashy mineral note.
- Palate: Round on entry, then a surge of energy, with citrus, orchard fruit and a lightly bitter grip.
- Finish: Very long and taut, with ginger, toast and a hint of tobacco.
Serving & Food
Serve at 10°C in a tulip or Burgundy-style white glass; it can take a little air. Match with spiced lamb, white truffle risotto, or grilled amberjack.
Good to Know
What's the blend? 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay, eight years on lees.
Drink now or keep? Give it a few more years.
