Jacques Selosse Mareuil-sur-Aÿ Sous Le Mont Extra Brut - 2018 Base NV

Chalky, stony aromatics open this up, crushed limestone, citrus pith, dried herbs and a flick of white pepper. What strikes you immediately is the absence of any bitter edge, something this cuvée can struggle to avoid. Focused and composed on the palate, with the kind of precision you expect from great Pinot Noir grown at Sous Le Mont. Sophisticated and unhurried.
