BRUT BLANC DE BLANCS CHAMPAGNE AC, 1er Cru à Mareuil-sur-A˙ |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
MARC HÉBRART |
Very light yellow colour. Fairly intense, slightly spicy, ripe apple nose with some toasty, lemony notes. Solid, dry, medium-full bodied, quite well structured, ripe lemon flavours with a lingering, very crisp, effervescent finish that has some toasty notes but still is a tad more malic from last shipment. Last appeared in Vintages (**+) on September 17, 2011 at $41.95 and was Recommended Best Buy. |

TASTING NOTE: (8.5 g/l dosage; disgorged in March, 2014): Pale yellow. A heady, mineral-dominated bouquet displays scents of fresh citrus and orchard fruits, jasmine, green tea and sea salt. Shows very good clarity and lift on the palate, offering zesty lemon-lime and bitter pear skin flavors sharpened by white pepper. The mineral quality defines the persistent finish, which features a subtle touch of buttered toast. Score - 91 (Josh Raynolds, vinousmedia.com, Jan. 2015) |
