// 34% Pinot Noir and 66% Chardonnay.

"The wine releases notes of cacao and chocolate with pastry undertones to showcase a bold, powerful character. This dark potentcy gives way to balanced aromas of fresh and candied yellow fruits, apricot, questche plum and peach. Aromas of black fruit (blackcurrants and blackberries) are also present. Underpinning this intense and unique aromatic profile are floral notes of peony, vanilla flower, liquorice, spices and even Espelette pepper to complete an already complex aromatic palette.

Extremely powerful and full-bodied on the attack, with a full and creamy texture emerging to reveal the structure of a distinctly bold wine. The aromatic complexity discovered on the nose unfolds through the structure across all dimension. The finish unveils liquorice and orange bitter accents with a cubtle touch of woodiness." - Charles Heidsieck, Winemaker

"Captivating aromas of white peach and green apple unfold into wildflowers, light toffee, macadamia and a delicate mineral vein. The palate is precise, with poised orchard fruit that gains weight and intensity with aeration. A subtle toasty layer emerges adding depth, while bright acidity carries a long, chalky finish. Approachable with a brief decant, yet built to age. Ideal alongside butter-poached lobster to showcase its richness." - 98 Points, Anna-Christina Cabrales, Wine Enthusiast
