Rich and creamy, with hints of toasted brioche and pastry cream underscoring the flavors of pureed plum and creamed apple fruit, marzipan and lemon parfait. Bright, citrusy acidity keeps this fresh and focused through the spiced finish. Disgorged September 2013.

This rich Champagne is made from pure Pinot Noir from the Aube, a region well suited to the grape. Its ripe, structured character is balanced by fresher white fruits and final, lightly toasty acidity. Drink now.

There's a seashell-like minerality to the scent of this wine, and a cool, dark cavern feel to its flavors. It's tight and dry, with fleshy lemon citrus notes firming up the finish. This is 100 percent pinot noir, selected and blended from three vintages. Serve it with poached salmon for brunch.
