Grand Cellier D’Or Brut 1er Cru
80/20 blend of Chardonnay/Pinot Noir sourced from the south-facing vineyard Blanches Voies with old 50+-year-old vines growing on limestone soils. Fermentation and élevage in older barrique for 10 months followed by 42 months on lees after bottling. A dosage of 7g per litre.
Tasting Note: 2013- Notes of lemon confit, orchard fruit with jasmine, herbs, and dried flowers. On the palate, medium weight and bold with great concentration. Refreshing acidity balances the richness with a defined finish.
2017 - Aromas of candied pineapple, lemon, and peach with hints of hazelnut, spice, and chalk mineral on the nose. Still very youthful and tightly wound on the palate, medium weight with great elegance, a green orchard fruit core, bright acidity, persistent and fine bubbles, and a long finish with hints of citrus zest and hazelnut.
