According to Emmanuel Lassaigne, this is ‘like a wrong blanc de blancs’ - it has a chalky, saline, lemony feel, but there is an agreeable sensation of red fruit as well (and a modest amount of colour) from the 13% Pinot Noir pressed and then fermented in barrel. The overall impression is super elegant and all finesse. As with all the wines, there is no dosage, so it stays lively and crisp on the palate.
