The wine showsgorgeous complexity, nuance and a multi-dimensional personality that issimply compelling. The Brut Excellence is 45% Pinot Noir, 13% PinotMeunier and 42% Chardonnay. The significant presence of red grapes givesthe wine much of its breadth and richness on the palate. This is LotL745-1422, disgorged 1st week of December, 2008. Anticipated maturity:2009-2014.
