Description:
On the nose, this Champagne show some aromas of white flowers, grilled nuts/almonds/pistachio. On the palate, a creamy texture for a Pinot Noir style, tightened by lively acidity. On the finish, a flintiness- slightly chalky/mineral, with an appealing mandarin skin-like bittersweetness.
During the autumn, after the harvest of 2013, the Champagne region experienced heavy rainfall averaging ~40% more than the long term average. The beginning of 2014, though, was relatively mild, with little frost and relatively warm winter temperatures. Spring was unusually warm and dry, which was ideal for budburst and flowering. Summer was cool and wet, conditions that threatened ripening and demanded discipline in the vineyard. However, fine weather returned in September, bringing several weeks of warm, dry conditions that was ideal for completing ripening.
