Extraordinarily complex and refined, with ripe citrus, dried fruit and orchard fruit layered with hazelnut, marzipan, brioche, honey, gingerbread and toasted nuts. Rich and expansive on the palate, yet remarkably precise, with fine persistent bubbles, vibrant acidity and a long, saline, mineral-driven finish.
A blend of 44% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier, composed around the 2016 harvest. The 172ème Édition incorporates 146 individual wines from 11 different vintages spanning 1998 to 2016, with 42% reserve wines adding exceptional depth and complexity.
