Wine Spectator 90 points This is intense and vinous, with apple and cheese notes initially giving way to bread dough and mineral flavors. It's dry, with fine grip and balance, ending with a long, honey and mineral aftertaste. Drink now through 2008. Score: 90. —Bruce Sanderson, November 15, 2005.

Wine maker notes

The Brut Grand Cru is a blend of three varietals selected exclusively form Grand Cru classified ”terroirs” : 60% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier, 35% Chardonnay (10% aged in oak). Beautiful golden robe with very fine bubbles spreadind out a complex, subtle and well balanced nose of red fruits, citrus, spices, herbs and toasted bread. This Grand Cru Brut is well known for offering a great deal of ”terroir” chracter with delicacy.
