" The NV Brut Extra Quality assembles three grape varieties in equal parts (Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay) and three harvests, in this case 2013, 2012 and 2010. The wine has a deep ripe cherry, white nougat and honey bouquet with refreshing citrus and chalky aromas as well as earthy and even floral notes. Clean, fresh and pretty complex on the palate, this is a full-bodied, intense and well-structured dry Champagne from 25-year-old vines on chalk, limestone, clay and silt. The finish is clear, fresh and crisp and also reveals stimulating minerality."
