Made of pure meunier, this is bold and ripe in its fruit flavors, with an ample body and firm structure. The savory character of the 2011 vintage is reflected here not in a vegetal character, but rather an amaro-like bitterness under the fruit that’s pleasant and intriguing. It finishes with soil-driven salinity and excellent balance, and the texture in particular is impressive, feeling elegant and refined.-champagne guide.net |
