The NV Extra Brut Terroirs d'Ecueuil Premier Cru is a blend of 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Chardonnay, picked in Ecueil, the 2019 base vintage is supplemented by 57% reserve wines. The shy nose gives gentle fruit, refined but restrained red and yellow plum, shimmers gently. The palate is just as restrained and shows a taut elegance, much enhanced by the presence of reserve wine. There is ripeness of fruit, fine mousse and a lovely phenolic edge that makes the mouth water. Restraint and depth is the name of the game. Dosage is 3.5gr/L. Disgorged: December 6, 2022. - Anne Krebiehl MW
