2013 Champagne Fleury, Sonate, Extra Brut

Description

92% Pinot Noir with a sprinkling of Pinot Blanc.

Expressive nose of stewed pineapple and blood orange. The palate has a simply gorgeous weight to it, with ripe citrus and touches of redcurrant and blueberry from the Pinot Noir, along with pastry and a defined toasted hazelnut character. The mousse is incredibly gentle and flavours last for an age. So moreish.

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.
