  • Goedhuis, August 2021

    A brilliantly easy drinking Champagne full of exuberant citrus, marmalade, and pear notes layered atop toasty brioche complexities, honeysuckle, and sweet crème patissiere. Lively and refreshing with a tangy seam of acidity and a mineral core. There is a silky texture thanks to the fine persistent bubbles and the whole ensemble is beautifully balanced between richness and vibrancy.

    “Based on the 2016 vintage. 40% Pinot Noir, 19% Pinot Meunier, 41% Chardonnay. Dosage 10 g/l. This is the first MEC that has some oak influence: 6% barrel-aged for texture. 46% reserve wine, the oldest is Cramant 1996. Average age of reserve wines is 10 years. Disgorged January 2020 and the first vintage to be bottled using the jetting technique and Diam Mytik closure. Full malo as on all these wines, though current winemaker Cyril Brun is keeping some no-malo reserve wines as a weapon against climate change. Subtle lemony nose. Stony, too, with the merest hint of white blossom, holds up really well in the glass. The smoky, reductive character is very slight but highlights the mineral/stony aspect. The citrus fruit and peel are ripe but there is masses of tension. The mousse is fine and gentle and also lasts really well in the glass. Becomes a little more toasty with air. Deep yet extremely refined, pulling in to a precise finish. (JH)
