Medium to full-bodied, it has volume without weight and is long on the palate, with a rounded mid-palate. Its mousse fleshes out and fills the palate, enhancing the wine's broader and fleshy structure. A more muscular wine, it has a touch more oak influence that frames the wine, while retaining its freshness very nicely, with persistent crystalline salinity through the finish. They do not produce this cuvée every year, but when they do, they hold it back ten years before disgorgement. In this vintage, it was 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. Disgorged in July 2024.

As the selection is different from year to year, the assemblage is never identical\"and can even be reversed. In 2015, however, it comprises 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. The bouquet is expressive, offering notes of dried orange peel, apricot, crisp pear and spice with a faint hint of sage. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and pillowy, with bright acidity and a taut, chalky core leading to a long, saline finish.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromas of ripe apple, pear, citrus peel and stone fruit are joined by notes of brioche, toasted almond, chalk and gentle spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate is layered and beautifully textured, with a creamy mousse framing orchard fruit, lemon and subtle savory flavors.
