2010 Technical Specifications
Alcohol 12.5%
Region Champagne
Contains Added Sulfites Yes
Production Details The year began with the lowest temperatures since 1996, including winter frost and a cool spring. A warm, dry summer was interrupted in mid-August by two days delivering about two months of rain. Rapid ripening followed; botrytis affected some Pinot Noir, so parcels were rejected or selectively sorted. The wine underwent nearly fifteen years of slow, controlled cellar transformation; this is approximate and must not be converted to exact aging days.
Tasting Notes Almond, ripe fruit, strawberry, citrus zest, potpourri, dried flowers, petals, beeswax, iron, terracotta and complex spice; delicate yet dense, silky, concentrated and precise, with refined acidity and a long elegant finish.
Food Pairing Iberico pork broth, roast lamb and roast langoustine.
