53% Pinot Meunier and 47% Chardonnay from a blend of 2003,
2002and 2001. This is an extremely
complex cuvée with hints of exotic fruits, lime, floral and minerals. The nose
is extra-ordinary – floral, mineral, citrus zest – extending onto an unctuous
palate with pin-point acid. The Chardonnay component is fermented in oak giving
this a luscious smoky character. A ‘tour de force’.
Based in a converted monastery, Bruno Michel is a pioneer in biodynamic wine making. With pure, mineral style focusing on terroir rather than heavy-handed new oak, the Cuvee de la Terre is loaded with crisp apple and vanilla and a lingering finish. Delicious! 100% Chardonnay from a single block of old vines (50+ years) near Pierry. Half fermented in tank, half in barrel. Aged for 12 months in French oak. 6 g/l dosage.
