especially for a release from what is widely considered a so-so vintage for Champagne

Pierre Lurton and technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet told me that the final blend is 72% merlot and 28% cabernet franc (it was 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc during the Primeurs)

Otherwise there is excellent freshness to the racy and nicely detailed flavors that possess a velvety mid-palate texture that contrasts somewhat with the crunchy and slightly rustic finale

this hasn't changed a great deal since my last review except that the length is now even more phenomenal and the supporting tannins are a bit more apparent
