Description:
This comes in a gold metallic bottle. Disgorged June 2015. 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier. Based on 2010 with 2009 and 2008. Mainly premiers and grands crus but no claim is made on the label. Dosage 9-10 g/l. Quite deep straw. Very steady tiny bead. Complete, well balanced nose with a floral note. A tiny bit of astringency and great verve. Not quite as defiantly dry as the Blanc de Blancs. Some delicacy on the finish but it's quite powerful on the mid palate.. Jancis Robinson
Winery:
The Cattier family is based in the Montagne de Reims and own 33 hectares of vines across some of the most lauded crus in Champagne, including the villages of Rilly-la-Montagne, Chigny-les-Roses and Ludes.The fruit selection is guided by the intimate knowledge the Cattier family have of the tapestry of vineyards in Champagne, after working the land for more than 250 years.
