Lots of complex aromatics that became even more expressive as the bottle warmed up. Some oxidative notes mixed with bread and flowers. In the mouth this leans to the vinous side. Acid driven which allows it to be consumed through out the meal. Just a hint of bitterness on the finish — 3 years ago
Enjoyed as a toast before we commenced our little version of La Paulée. This bottle of Emmanuel Brochet’s “Premier Cru” Extra Brut uses the 2020 vintage as a base with 20% of the blend coming from reserve wine. It is a blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay.
Popped and poured, the wine pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of apple, raspberry, white peach, some white flowers, lemon citrus, lightly toasted brioche, almond and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is long with lively minerality. Super tasty stuff. Drink now through 2035. Only 12,825 bottles were made. — 13 days ago

Vintage 2010 | My last 375 ml, curious because I thought it might be too old. Instead: it is g o r g e o u s. Beautiful ripened cab franc smell, as vibrant as possible. The back label says cab franc ánd cab sauvignon. Elegant taste. This wine is from the time Frederic Brochet owned the domaine and wanted to make wines as beautiful as possible. Proof that great wines can be made in Vienne. Biological organic wine, if anyone needs proof that these wines can ripen > this is a great example. Paired with pasta and a improvisation mushroom sauce. — 2 months ago
