James Suckling: 96 Points
Complex nose of restrained strawberries and lemon zest with macerated flowers and shortbread. Full body and plenty of concentration with pinprick mousse long and chewy integrated acidity and amazing length. Pinot noir and chardonnay. Drink or hold.

The 2016 Vintage Brut is a blend of 68% Pinot Noir and 32% Chardonnay with 7 grams per liter of dosage. Only 5% of the blend underwent malo-lactic and 33% of the base wines were aged in French oak. Showy notes of Red Delicious apples ripe pears honeycomb and cashews prance out of the glass giving way to underlying orange blossom and fresh ginger scents. To its credit the palate is on the dry side with its sweetness coming from ripe fruit as opposed to added dosage offset by supportive yet skillfully balanced acidity showcasing the ripe nuanced seductive fruit finishing long and creamy. More gregarious than its 2016 Cristal counterpart this is a flamboyant yet age-worthy Vintage Brut. Love it. Reviewed by: Lisa Perrotti-Brown Review date: 2024-07-31
