Blanc de Noirs, 2014

As a house with such a Pinot Noir heart, this cuvée gives a great idea of the beating pulse of the Maison. Produced exclusively from first press juice from Premier and Grand Cru sites in Mareuil-sur-Ay, Ay and Avenay it spent over five years sur lie prior to disgorgement. Brimming with deep, golden fruit, this is a vinous yet crisp expression of great Pinot Noir – loaded with notes of red fruit, ginger, fresh quince and spice. 2015 was a solaire vintage and the wine shows off all the charm you’d expect from such a year. Vinification takes place in a mixture of stainless steel and wooden vats – the former undergoing partial malo-lactic fermentation, the latter not. Bottled with 4.5grams of dosage.
