"PR 90-19 introduces amazing energy to a great white wine and opens up a whole new dimension : one in which space and time are suspended, and in which complexity, fruit, and spirituality intertwine with shimmering wreaths of orange blossom shot through with flashes of chalk and bitter minerality. It channels this fantastic energy, born of the fusion of Champagne's hundred-million-year-old twin marine terroirs - Aÿ's chalk and Argonne's gaize - into a long, saline river, perfumed with subtle aromas. Here emotion, carried to its height, borders on the mystical." - Importer Notes
“The center palate to this is impressive with light salted caramel, toffee, dried apple and peach skin. It opens to reveal aromas and flavors of sea salt, oyster shell and chalk. Medium to full body. Some creme brulee. Creamy texture. Extremely long and complex at the end. 80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay. Blend of two solera systems of perpetual reserve, started in 1990.” - 97 Points, James Suckling
