Tasting Notes
-
This terroir of mid-Coast Mareuil sur Aÿ and Aÿ ensures good development of the fruit. Great elegance, with structure and fine complexity of the Pinot Noir. Fine notes of vine shoot fire, soft spice, noble pepper, and dry fruits. Beautiful testimony of Pinot Noir from clay and chalk soil. A wine of fullness and structure, this Non-Vintage de Luxe answer to its rank as a solar Premier and Grand Cru of the Marne Valley.
