Marc Hebrart Mes Favorites Vieilles Vignes Brut Champagne

14-2016 MV 75% Pinot Noir 25% Chardonnay. From the producers 2 favorite parcels to work with, this is a blend of 2014, 2015 and 2016. The nose shows a gorgeous balance of cream, citrus, baked apple, and a just there dusting of minerals. The palate is moderate in weight with flavors of cream, citrus, apricot, and baked apple. Perhaps our favorite too? D&M Tasting Notes

It’s from his favorite parcels in Mareuil, and is intended as a tribute to its terroir. It has a truly noble PN fragrance, leading to an utter masterpiece of weightless concentration, as huge and yet as penetrable as a cumulous cloud. Mareuil is clearly great but it’s also somewhat inscrutable; it has some of the malt of Aÿ, some mirabelle confiture, an almost gingery spice and top notes of chalk. This wine has great, gossamer opulence. Importer Notes
