2010 Henriet-Bazin Carte Or Vintage Champagne

A blend of 60% Pinot Noir, sourced from Grand Cru vineyards, and 40% Chardonnay sourced from Premier Cru vineyards. A white frothy mousse dissipates to reveal a pale straw/gold base wine colour with a very fine and profuse bead. Excellent aromatics with classical Champagne notes of yeast lees, baked bread and oily cashew filling the nostrils over some baked pear like characters with toasty citrus end notes. Rich and full with a cleansing freshness on the finish the palate possesses generous flavours of baked bread and yeast lees in conjunction with oily cashew and toasty characters followed by a trace of citrus on the finish. Long aftertaste of roasted nuts, toast, yeast lees and bready characters.
Cellar 4-5 years.
Alc 12.5%
