 Coeur de Cuvee 2001
|
||||||||
Wine Tasting Notes:
The 2001 Brut Premier Cru Coeur de Cuvee is a phenomenal wine, especially considering the tricky year. The 2001 is a big, imposing Coeur de Cuvee that explodes from the glass with waves of mineral-infused fruit. Here, too, the oak is beautifully balanced. The finish remains intensely chalky, yet creamy. Today the 2001 is painfully young and in need of time on the cork, but it is terrific in every way. The mousse is slightly less polished than the exceptional 2000 tasted alongside it, but that is splitting hairs at this level. The Coeur de Cuvee is 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir aged in oak. Only the middle 800 liters, i.e. the “heart” is used for the wine. Disgorged: April, 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021. Wine Advocate # 186 Dec 2009 Antonio Galloni 93
