Tasting Notes

Disgorged in March 2017, the 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs is excellent, delivering a complex bouquet of warm pastry, dried white flowers, lemon oil and some smoky, gently reductive top notes. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a rich but precise core of fruit that reveals all the concentration of the vintage but is elegantly rendered, underpinned by tangy acids and concluding with a precise, chalky finish.

The restrained, cool and equally airy nose is even more elegant with a lovely array of subtle yeast, green apple, Meyer lemon and quinine. The yeast influence is more apparent on the equally elegant and refined middle weight flavors that are shaped by a firm but fine effervescence on the notably dry if ever-so-mildly warm finale. I quite like this and in particular because of the excellent flavor authority. Like the 2012 Brut, this could be enjoyed now or held for another few years first which would be my recommendation.
