Score 18.5/20 · Drink 2021-2035, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2025

60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay. Cellared in 1997. Disgorged in 2021. Dosage 9 g/l. Mushroom and cool-cellar notes, weighty and concentrated – layers of flavour and very long. Zesty orange/marmalade notes with a hint of appetising bitterness, powerful biscuity/lees-driven flavours. Plenty of acidity on the finish but all in very harmonious balance. Further to go. (AWH)
