"Disgorged in October 2018, the 2012 Brut Vintage offers up aromas of smoky peach, apples, pastry cream, white flowers and mandarin. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad and powerful, with more volume and amplitude than its blanc de blancs counterpart, revealing racy balancing acids, an already refined mousse and the impressive concentration that typifies this low-yielding vintage. It's a classic blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay that saw seven grams per liter dosage." 94+ Points - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
Grape: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
2012 was a tricky year for vignerons, with a small crop reducing production capacity. The quality, however, is superb. A mild winter was followed by a spring and early summer that was beset with poor weather events, including frost and devastating hail - both of which are detrimental to yields. August saw a turnaround with marvelous weather. The end result was well-ripened grapes with firm acids that promised great flavour development and serious ageing potential. This is a vintage that is now cited as one of the best of the decade, with some epic bottles that are drinking well now and will continue to for many years to come.
This vintage is showing a complex nose of peach, dried fruit, spices, sweet pastries, gingerbread and flowers. The palate is rich and rounded, with a neat citrus acidity keeping things tight and fresh.
Perfect with richly sauced or buttery fish and seafood dishes.
