Description
Aurélien describes this one as his best expression of pure Pinot Noir, from sandy, fine silty topsoil 80cm deep on top of seriously limestone rich subsoil. This gives it at once a sense of finesse and suavity with a linear even rising calcaire finish. This is sourced from a relative some 30km away in the Montagne de Reims sector, and is long barrel aged some 18 months. This is once again plain gorgeous in its raspberry/little red fruited aromas and flavor, that is then driven by an intensely limestone mineral core in tonic, mouthwatering fashion. This is classy as heck…..again, a little * awarded here. THIS STUFF IS GORGEOUS, HEADS UP YOU RED FRUITED CHAMPAGNE LOVERS OUT THERE…..some of the terrific 2017 is in stock as well……
“The 2018 Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Les Longues Voyes 1er Cru, 100% Pinot Noir, is the most engaging of the three parcellaire wines today. Aromatic, deep, and exquisitely layered, the Longues Voyes is super expressive today. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, white pepper, crushed rocks, and bright acids lend vibrancy throughout. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged December 2021.” 94 Galloni
