Tasting notes
From a west-facing 0.25-hectare parcel planted in 2007 with ten different massal selections of Pinot Noir taken from a well-known domaine in Gevrey-Chambertin, the 2014 Blanc de Noirs Presle offers up lovely aromas of white currant, peach, clear honey, white flowers and citrus oil, with smoky and sapid nuances emerging as it sits in the glass. On the palate, it's full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with lively acids, an abundance of structuring dry extract, terrific concentration and a sapid, mouthwatering finish.

The 2014 Blanc de Noirs Presle presents an especially focused expression of Pinot. White orchard fruit, mint, and crushed and white flowers open up first, followed by a rush of small red berries and hints of smoke, crushed flowers and earthiness. This mid-weight, chiseled Pinot needs at least a few years to soft, but it is very pretty. Non-dosé. Disgorged: April 2018.
