A quick and loud entrance. It just bursts beautifully with honeycomb, white flowers, cheese and nuts. Almost full-bodied, elegant, vinous and fresh. Salty mouthfeel, textured and nuanced with delicate mousse, and long evolving and sapid finish.
100% Pinot Noir from a tiny plot in Aÿ (Vallée de la Marne) of 0.3 hectares planted in 1980 by Jean-Hervé Chiquet. Vauzelle Terme spent ~96 months sur lie. Disgorged in May 2022.
