Description / Reviews

// 52% Pinot Noir, 48% Chardonnay

"An elegant and refined nose, with floral notes, white fruit, and citrus, followed by chocolate and toasted almond notes. A lively, then creamy palate, with notes of lemon zest and bergamot, and sensations of lightly candied fruit, brioche, and warm bread. The finish is smooth and fresh. Luminous, enchanting, refined." - Devaux

"Upfront pear and blossom at first here, although with time the smokiness of embers, butter and tropical fruits emerge. There is insistent, precise fruit presented with a real sense of style, although it needs longer in bottle for some of the oak-influenced texture to resolve. Half and half Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Aube’s Côte des Bar in this collaboration between Devaux and Michel Chapoutier." - 91 points, Tom Hewson

"Roasted-almond, apricot-tart, croissant, lemon and sourdough notes with tangy acidity and fine bubbles. Bright and saline on the palate, with a beautiful interplay of sharp citrus and pastry notes. Vibrant finish. Drink or hold." - 94 points, James Suckling
