These include Oger, Vertus, Chouilly, Cuis, Verzy, Aÿ, Ludes, Ambonnay, Tauxières and Avenay. Heavy spring rain and storms were followed by a hot, dry summer, encouraging rapid ripening and an early harvest. The resulting wine captures the vintage’s generous fruit while retaining the freshness and refinement associated with the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive years of maturation on the lees in the historic Crayères chalk cellars contribute depth and texture. A dosage of 9g\/L complements the wine’s concentrated fruit and lively character. Its copper colour introduces a fragrant combination of flowers, berries and citrus, followed by a generous palate with a peppery finish. The producer recommends pairing it with duck à l’orange, venison with cranberries, sole with peach or Ossau-Iraty cheese with black cherry jam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Floral, concentrated and expressive\u003cbr\u003ePeony, rose, violet and white musk mingle with blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, pomegranate, lemon and blood orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Refined, generous and fruit-rich\u003cbr\u003eConcentrated red and black berries meet citrus and exotic fruit, developing with breadth and character across the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Tangy, peppery and persistent\u003cbr\u003eA spirited finish carries peppery nuances, liquorice and tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The nose is generous, with fresh raspberries layered over toasted brioche and a pinch of flaky salt. The palate is equally expressive, lifted by bright, refreshing acidity that carries raspberry, rhubarb, white stone, brioche and a subtle saline finish. Structured and poised, it has the acidity and nuance to develop beautifully over time.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Anna-Christina Cabrales, Wine Enthusiast, 96 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A well-structured Champagne, with a creamy mousse and sense of finesse.

Floral and inviting, it reveals notes of strawberries, cherry blossoms, and wet stones. The acidity has focus, and this vintage exhibits a refinement with a silky, soft, stony texture. It’s medium-bodied, with a very elegant feel in this vintage, featuring a totally charming fruitiness that is well reined in. Drink now or over the next 15 years or more.”\u003c\/em\u003e — JebDunnuck.com, 95 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Rich and delicious with sliced-strawberry and pie-crust aromas and flavors with hints of cooked butter.
