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

Description

Quite headily scented. Really quite rich. Assuming the dosage as printed on the label (disgorgement date and vintage were scribbled) is correct and as low as in all the other Penet-Chardonnet wines, then that richness is presumably from the ripeness of the fruit and the maturation effect. Pretty impressive.

James Suckling 93/100

100% Pinot Noir.

Striking notes of toffee, creme caramel, plums, coconuts and raspberry tart waft from the glass. It’s both creamy and tangy with lively acidity. Brisk bubbles. More zesty notes at the end.
