\nFrom Verzenay, this is a delicious, well priced grower Champagne that’s 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay (the regular brut is a varietal Pinot Noir). 12% alcohol. It’s taut and focused with nicely dense citrus and ripe apple fruit. This has some spicy warmth and a subtly savoury edge. There are notes of cherries and herbs with just a hint of sweetness, as well as apricot richness. Showing nice complexity, this is quite serious. 92\/100 (\u00a324.60 Tanners)<\/p>\n\n
