Drinking Window: 2021 - 2022
Pinot Meunier-dominant with 38% reserve wine blended into the 2017 base wine and including 15% of red wine (from Les Riceys) in the blend. With four years on its lees, there's great depth of flavour and complex toastiness, with a lifted spiciness and sprightly raspberry zing. The 2011 Vintage Brut (£27) is also very good.
