The NV Extra Brut Grands Vintages is a Pinot Noir-dominant blend, fully fermented in oak and with blocked malolactic fermentation. Apple blossom appears first, followed by gentle creaminess and aromas of red plum and Mirabelle, all uniting into a fragrant nose. The palate is alive with smooth foam and presents a rounded ripeness that is immediately countered by vivid, bright freshness. Salt, fruit, creaminess, yeast, and notions of toasted hazelnut are all illuminated by super-bright freshness. A lovely contrast between density, richness and acidity makes this utterly mouthwatering and compelling. A most gastronomic proposition. The salty length is just so delicious.
