"The 2019 Cuvée Brut spent 43 months en tirage. A blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, it has a notably more refined mouthfeel than the many of the other sparkling wines in the region. White pepper, toasted brioche, sweet spice and ripe pear fruit sizzle through this rich, very Champagne-like sparkling wine. There's a lot of energy in the mousse, as this was bottled at slightly higher than usual pressure (6.5 atm). Dosage is 2.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: December 2023."
