Tasting note
This is the négociant label of Hervé Jestin, winemaker at Leclerc Briant and consultant at Hambledon. Just disgorged. Zero dosage. 50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, 25% Pinot Meunier. No added sulphites. Fermented in oak, then two months in tank and many years in oak. 2,800 bottles made (6,000 bottles in 2009).
Hint of fish on the nose! Both big and zesty. A dramatic wine without the austerity of some 2008s. (JR)
Score: 18.5
