Bouyant creamy white mousse with a pale straw, gold tinged colour. Exceptionally fine bead showing excellent persistence. Very yeasty and refined nose with delicate notes of baked bread, citrus, faint toast and brioche. The palate shows great finesse with an elegant creaminess to the mouthfeel featuring flavours of baked bread, yeast lees, citrus, brioche and cashew. Clean dry finish. Excellent length with a long yeasty baked bread, citrus and cashew.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc 12.5%

Other Reviews......
A roughly equal blend of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier, plus 25% reserve wines; has 150 blend components, with 48 months on tirage. This is right in the heart of Pol style, crystal clear and poised, flowing evenly yet with drive and depth to its chalky/minerally/citrussy journey through to the fresh finish and lingering aftertaste.
