Description
// 100% Grand Cru Bouzy Pinot Noir
5g/L dosage & aged 72 months on lees
80% base wine 2012; 20% Grande Solera Reserve wines (50% 2008, 37.5% 2005, 25% 2004, 12.5% 2002). Powerful nose of lightly candied fruit and spice accelerating on the palate with notes of ginger bread with sweet citrus.
"Aged for six years on the second lees, the yellow-golden NV Brut The V6 Experience is a Bouzy Pinot Noir that displays great purity and intensity but also reduction on the mineral-scented nose. This is deep and complex, but it needs all our patience and perhaps even a decanter or at least a big glass and lots of aeration. The palate is rich and powerful, firmly structured, very tight and still astringent on the finish, but there is so much finesse paired with power, concentration and fruit, which give the V6 a promising future. The wine just starts a bit slowly (like a rocket, which is pictured on the label), but it will most probably go very steep in a couple of years." - 93+ Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate
