| With their non-vintage Expression Brut, the producer seeks a consistent style. Although this is a different bottling than that which Galloni describes, expect the same characteristics. TASTING NOTE: Geoffroy's NV Brut Premier Cru Expression is totally alive in the glass. Vibrant and delineated, the Expression bursts from the glass with dried pears, flowers, almonds and Chamomile. A blend of 47% Pinot Meunier, 40% Pinot Noir and 13% Chardonnay, the Expression is all about texture and volume from the red grapes, which give tons of richness without detracting from the wine's essential energy, tension and pure drive. A crystalline, layered finish rounds things out beautifully. This is a great showing from a wine loaded with class. Disgorgement date: April 2012. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. Score - 92 (Antonio Galloni, erobertparker.com, Nov. 2012) |
