Disgorged in April 2019 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage, the latest release of the NV Brut Premier Cru Terroirs d'Ecueil offers up aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, white flowers, blanched almonds, pastry cream and Meyer lemon oil. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a broad attack, a lively and incisive core of nicely concentrated fruit that's still quite tightly wound and a long, chalky finish. It's a blend of 85% Pinot Noir and the balance Chardonnay, based on the 2015 vintage supplemented by some 43% reserve wines. This will be even better with a year or two on cork to unwind.
