Shiny golden yellow with warm shimmer. Fine, dynamic perlage with a very persistent bubble string. The bouquet is immediately apparent, it is rich in wine and beautifully fresh at the same time. A range of ripe, fine fruits, including yellow fruits (mirabelles, Pinot Noir) and sweet citrus fruits (tarte au citron), as well as delicate notes of white flowers (jasmine, chardonnay). After a few minutes, autolysis aromas are revealed in the form of notes of smoke and pastry. Densely concentrated on the palate, deep, expressive and well structured with the beguiling texture of the fleshy Pinot Noir of the Lage Montagne, which characterizes the mouthfeel and brings with it an immense saline freshness with a hint of bitterness. A powerful, aroma-rich wine, in which the mature grapes of Pinot Noir are balanced by the lime-rich freshness and the density of the Chardonnays that dominate this wine composition. This vintage also reflects the warm, full-bodied character of the collection thanks to the fruits fully ripened at the 2018 harvest. The freshness, energy and complexity of the Réserve Perpétuelle created in 2012 as well as the structure lending Réserves Foudres with their woody tannins provide length and give the wine finesse and persistence.
