2012 Penet-Chardonnet Champagne Grand Cru La Croix L'Aumonier

100% 36-year-old Pinot Noir vines on a gentle slope at 110 m in Verzy. Disgorged 20 October 2020 with dosage of 5.6 g/l. No malo. Not yet released at the time of tasting Still quite aggressively fizzy but very obviously with an oak element. Still very youthful, with rich Pinot perfume doing battle with the low dosage. Work in progress but with interesting, self-confident elements. (JR)
