Clos Faubourg Notre Dame 2013
Extra-BrutPremier Cru
Excellence
A few hundred bottles of the 2013 Blanc de Blancs vintage are available. This great year… unveils a delicate nose of blood orange, clementine and a refreshing hint of Yuzu. The palate is racy and seductive with its hint of ripe citrus, a creamy texture mixed with an elegant, vibrant and persistent saline tension. We find a long, pure, chalky, salivating finish with hints of white pepper. This wine exudes the quintessence of this unique plot !
