A blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Meunier, this shows rich autolysis aromas at pop and pour, with strawberry and cranberry notes lurking underneath. The fruit shows more on the palate, riding up to the deep toasty notes promised in the nose. The midpalate is creamy and seductive texturally, and the finish lingers with persisting toasty notes alongside the fruit. This is a very food friendly design, leaning toward Krug in style. Bravo!
