4.4
Same Vrigny as before, holding shape across releases. The aromatic register stays delicate yet sophisticated - lemon candy, bread, cider, bruised apple, cherry plum, with a flicker of cheese underneath. Pillow-like mousse on the palate, vinous and assertive, properly balanced and properly long. 100% Pinot Meunier doing what only a few houses can get it to do.
Served blind, I managed to identify this wine on my second guess.
This wine is simply incredible, striking a delicate yet sophisticated balance in its bouquet. It is brimming with notes of lemon candy, bread, cider, bruised apple, and cherry plum. The complexity is mesmerizing, captivating the senses with its intensity and a pillow-like mousse. The finish is long and flavourful, underscoring the overall excellence of this great wine.
