100% Pinot Noir from the 2018 vinatage all sourced from the Grand Cru village of Puisielx. Disgorged October 22, 2021.
A showy but graceful take on Blanc de Noirs, achieved not through oenological pyrotechnics but through straightforward, fairly hands-off viticulture and winemaking. Grapes were sourced from family-owned plots planted by Aurore’s mother in the late ‘60s. Only 1,300 bottles and 77 magnums were produced.
An unexpectedly fruity nose with lime seltzer and green apple with a lanolin edge. The intensity builds on the palate, layering green fruit with red cherries and some smoky autolysis on the finish. Refreshing acid and a dusting of powdery texture leave an impression of litheness and delicacy. The finish is very clean.
