The 2011 Brut Premier Cru Empreinte is a powerful and gastronomic blend of 55% Pinot Noir from sandstone and clay plus 38% Chardonnay and 7% Pinot Meunier. In that warm and early year, the red varieties were already picked on the 22nd of August, and the wine was 100% fermented in oak, with malolactic avoided. Clear, deep and spicy on the fruity-elegant nose (red berries and cherry flavors), this is a full-bodied, intense, complex, very fruity but pure and very elegant Pinot blend with lots of finesse and freshness. It is well-structured and reveals good grip and persistency in the long and vivid finish. Disgorged in November 2017 with six grams of dosage but still very young when tasted in April 2018. Try it with Bresse chicken and morels!
