Note di degustazione
From a 50-year-old vineyard, co-planted to 95% pinot noir and 5% chardonnay, which are picked and pressed together. The nose is quite chalky with minerals and red flowers, as well as grapefruit. The palate has a very assertive feel and good power, offering pink grapefruit with central focus and a long, powerful, sapid, red-fruit finish. Good acidity here, too. Drink now.

The 2015 Extra Brut Premier Cru Le Mont Benoit was—like Savart's Mont de Chrétiens—disgorged with only two grams per liter dosage in lieu of the normal three. It was showing especially well during my spring visit to the domaine, bursting with aromas of orange rind, crisp green apple, white flowers and almond paste, the prelude to a medium to full-bodied, layered and racy palate that's long, penetrating and saline on the finish.
The 2015 Le Mont Benoît emerges from a parcel of 95% Pinot Noir and 5% Chardonnay in Villers-aux-Noeuds. Power, depth and textural resonance are the signatures in this rich, intense Champagne. Plum, chocolate, hazelnut and spice fill out the wine’s ample, creamy frame nicely. The 2015 is a bit massive and not especially refined. It will be interesting to see what time brings here. Dosage is 2 grams per liter. Disgorged: February, 2019.
