Pataphysique Extra Brut
100% Pinot Meunier from very old vines in Vrigny, which include some on original rootstocks (ungrafted), growing on sandy soils. The base wine is matured in oak barrels and spends 48 months on lees prior to disgorgement, with no dosage added. Very limited production.
“Pataphysics” is a philosophy of science invented by French writer Alfred Jarry, and intended to be a parody of science.
Tasting Note: Aromas of ripe and baked apple, lemon, blood orange with wild rose, shaved almond, sea air, stone mineral, and spice on the nose. Vinous and complex on the palate, a citrus and orchard fruit core layered with an undertone of mineral notes, fresh acidity, fine mousse, and great length on a salty finish. Gently decant or use a larger glass.
