Tasting notes
From a cooler, west-facing 0.25-hectare plot planted in 2007 on clayey limestone with 20 different massal selections of Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, the 2013 Blanc de Noirs Millésime "Presle" is pure, very fine and fresh on the deep and complex nose. On the palate, this is a rich yet elegant, fine, pure and fresh Pinot Noir with a lot of charming fruit and intensity. The finish is enormously fruity. A gorgeous Champagne of which just 500 bottles were produced. Tasted April 2018.

One of the more complete wines in this range, the 2013 Roses de Jeanne Blanc de Noirs Presle emerges from a parcel planted with ten different clones of Pinot. The flavors are wonderfully nuanced and layered in the glass. Bright, saline notes give energy to the finely cut Pinot fruit. Understated and classy, the Presle has much to say, but like all of the 2013s here, it needs to unwind. Disgorged in April 2017 with no dosage.
