Champagne Penet-Chardonnet, Terroir & Sens, Grand Cru, Extra Brut

Description

This multi-vintage cuvée is sourced from Champagne Penet-Chardonnet’s finest sites, located across Verzy and Verzenay. Comprised of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, the base wine is from the superlative 2013 vintage. This wine represents incredible value for the price: the nose is rich in white flowers and sourdough bread, while the palate is fine, smoky, and filled with mineral tension. The wine spent seven years on lees.

Drink 2023 - 2030

Critics reviews

Richard Hemming MW 16.5/20

70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay. Bottled May 2013, disgorged October 2021. Dosage 5.2 g/l.

Pale gold. It has a discreet nose, but the palate has more classic baked-apple fruit and attractive salinity. Balanced, lengthy and very savoury, leaning towards austere. That salty note becomes dominant on the finish.

William Kelley 91/100

Based on the 2012 vintage and disgorged in December 2020 with 5.2 grams per litre dosage, the NV Extra-Brut Grand Cru Terroir & Sens is showing well, revealing notions of crisp golden orchard fruit, dried white flowers and honeycomb, as well as hints of the biscuity complexity to come. Medium to full-bodied, rich and structured, with a concentrated core and chalky grip on the finish, this will benefit from at least a year or two more on the cork to unwind.

Drink 2023 - 2035

James Suckling 93/100

This has aromas of baked apple, grilled pineapple, lemon curd, toast, pie crust, cocoa and praline. Medium to full-bodied with silky bubbles and tangy acidity. Sleek and creamy. Excellent integration and balance. 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. 2012 base wine. 5.2g/l dosage.
