The NV Brut Nature Dosage Zero opens with a blast of fruit, but then loses much of its persistence on the mid-palate and finish. Overall, Brut Nature is less convincing than the other wines here. This is Lot # L.10.139.7.05 100/0001763/51. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.- Antonio Galloni (11/2011)
A firm backbone of acidity is softened by the refined, satinlike mousse of this well-meshed Champagne, which offers flavors of slivered almond, fleur de sel and baked pear. Modest finish. Drink now-AN
(40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier; L 13 04209 12 10): Pale yellow-gold. Nervy, mineral-laced aromas of candied citrus fruits, nectarine and white flowers, with a zesty gingery overtone. Dry and sharply focused, offering vibrant Meyer lemon and pear flavors with subtle iodine and anise notes that gain power with air. Finishes clean, incisive and long, with the mineral and floral notes echoing.-JR
