This impresses with its striking aromatics of Asian pear

widely regarded as the most prestigious Grand Cru village for Blanc de Blancs Champagne in the Côte des Blancs

The blend is 59 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 41 % Merlot

thanks to the stem addition

the wine is likely to respond well to cellaring

cigar box and leather scents over a core of prunes

All it needs is time

Floral notes of acacia and rose flowers combined with a light spicy Mediterranean bouquet Palate: Fresh and soft taste with well balance acidity and sapidity

James Suckling awarded the Eloquence 93 points

The combination of fruit and minerality is stunning

it’s a hard (and expensive) bottle to find

but a wine that borrows the structural elegance of the former and the terroir precision of the latter while remaining distinctively Moselian in its mineral identity
