Pale gold in hue, the cuvée reveals an initial brioche nose, slightly toasted with aromas of ripe yellow fruit such as mirabelle plum, then on aeration elegant raspberry aromas. As the wine develops, a few light notes of cedar wood appear. A certain minerality and salinity sublimate a beautiful structure and a lot of freshness in the mouth. The finish is persistent, long, with a slight hint of grapefruit zest.
A tiny production release based on 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier that saw zero dosage, the 2012 Champagne Brut Nature Cuvée V comes from a mix of 19 different terroirs (the majority of which are Grand Cru). It has a classy bouquet of ripe stone and orchard fruits as well as spice, chalky minerality, and subtle brioche. Wonderfully textured on the palate, this medium-bodied Champagne builds nicely with time in the glass and has rock solid richness as well as outstanding length. It's beautifully done and should evolve nicely for 10-15 years.
