Note di degustazione
100% small-berry pinot noir, fermented in demi-muid and rested for 10 months on gross lees with a natural alcohol level of 11.5%. This has very attractive, spiced-berry aromas with a core of such flavorful red cherries. The palate is so silky and so long with a very attractive, elegant and soft feel. So charming. Drink now.

Due to be disgorged four weeks after my visit was the 2015 Extra Brut Premier Cru Les Noues, a new bottling from a parcel of Pinot Noir vines that used to go into Savart's l'Ouverture cuvée. Unwinding in the glass with a complex bouquet that mingles waxy citrus rind, red apples, berries and blanched almonds with hints of oyster shell and crushed chalk, it's medium to full-bodied and ample but incisive, with excellent depth at the core, a lovely spice of acidity and a long, precise finish.
A new wine in the range, the 2015 Les Noues (100% Pinot Noir from Ecueil) is all finesse and delicacy. Smoke, crushed rocks, mint, dried flowers and Mirabelle are some of the many notes that inform this intricate, finely-knit Champagne. All of the elements simply fall into place in an effortless, silky Champagne that will be impossible to resist upon release. Dosage is 2 grams per liter. Disgorged: February, 2019.
