Note di degustazione
Tasted out of magnum, the 2018 Champagne Clos De L’Abbaye sports a youthful silver/green-tinged hue and is elegant and perfumed with powder, fresh flowers, Anjou pear, and almond paste. It has a refined and delicate texture, and although it’s not the most concentrated of wines, it’s quite appealing and pretty, rounded out by a refined, pillowy mousse and a lot of finesse. It’s approachable now but has the potential to improve with time. It’s really just and easy-drinking and lovely all-around wine to drink over the coming 10-15 years.

Offering up aromas of crisp stone fruits, pear, buttered toast, musky peach and smoke, the 2018 Extra-Brut Premier Cru Clos de l'Abbaye was disgorged this year with two grams per liter dosage. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise, with a nicely concentrated core of fruit, racy acids and a long, chalky finish, the 2018 is quite a fine-boned, elegant rendition of this bottling. As readers will remember, this cuvée derives from a walled 0.4-hectare plot of 60-year-old cordon-pruned vines (including some "muscaté" selections of Chardonnay) just behind the winery in Vertus, and only the first and second "serres" of the press are used.
