Vinous Comment - Score: 92 (2015 January)

(made from one-third each Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier; 6 g/l dosage ; L359333 15056M): Bright yellow. Pungent orchard fruit and lemon curd scents are complemented by suggestions of vanilla, anise and smoky minerals. Toasty and silky in texture, offering juicy pear and tangerine flavors plus a deeper suggestion of candied fig on the back half. Closes sappy, focused and long, with repeating smokiness and strong mineral cut.
