This
comes directly from the cellar of Monsieur Fleury. It was just
Jean-Pierre in person, to convince me about the absolute goodness of this
vintage, showing, at this moment, truly amazing and giving high satisfaction.
It
is an assembled - 80 Pinot Noir and 20 Chardonnay - which did not, at the time,
the malolactic. Spent nearly 20 years is too
easy, now, to argue that choice was never more rewarding.
The
cap that has worked and held up very well, is unequivocal evidence about the
absolute quality of the "stuff".
Gold,
not too intense, not even the shadow of oxidation, with very fine bubbles,
relentless, unstoppable.
What
is amazing is the incredible freshness that emanates the liquid on the nose and
on the palate, especially on the palate.
A
very young and pointed wine, high minerality, with some white flowers and many
citrus fruits, a touch of acacia honey, a hefty sum of champignons and oysters. Striking
and dazzling verticality.
The
rest are e m o t i o n s - not transferable - that everyone picks up and lives
on its own initiative, capable of infinite variables - with whom, where, how,
when, how much, etc.
Chapeau-bas, Jean-Pierre.
