2012 Champagne Penet-Chardonnet, Les Champs Saint-Martin, Blanc de Noirs, Grand Cru, Verzenay, Extra Brut

Description

It was disgorged in April 2021 with 5.2 grams per liter dosage.

The 2012 Extra-Brut Grand Cru Les Blanches Voies is quite tightly wound out of the gates, offering up hints of citrus and orchard fruit mingled with notions of white flowers and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, the richness and concentration typical of the vintage are immediately apparent, as are compelling purity and precision, but the wine really needs a year or two on cork to open up: it isn't austere, but rather simply youthfully inscrutable.

Drink 2023 - 2040

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
