80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir Dosage: 0g/l Vinified in small oak barrels Uncompromising tribute to Tarlant’s Lutetian limestone plots Markus Hofschuster Wein-Plus about 2005: Deep, firm and complex, pronounced yeasty scent of pomaceous fruit and a little citrus fruit with floral aromas and very fine, rather dark spiciness. Juicy, dense and ripe-fruity in the mouth, lively, fine mousseux, nutty and herbal aromas, also a hint of tobacco, has a grip, but also something open-hearted, very slightly oxidative, complex, certain strength and melting, enormous substance, becomes more in the air cooler and firmer, clear minerality, deep, multi-layered and long, with a proper pull at the back. In wonderful shape. 96/100P

57% Chardonnay, 29% Pinot Noir, 14% Meunier Dosage: 0g/l First fermentation of the base wines in wooden vats Malolactic fermentation was not forced. Disgorgement September 2018 Bottle aging: 15 years Tasting: wow! The fifteen years on the lees until disgorgement in September 2018 make for a monumental wine. Its expression of character, origin, identity and great elegance is unique. The nose reveals toasted hazelnuts and almonds. The enormously long yeast storage spreads an absolute sense of well-being through the smell alone. Yellow and green apples in all facets. Brioche spread with butter. Almond biscuits and shortcrust pastry. Your mind is totally lost. Lemon tart with burnt meringue. And there is always a wall of pure chalk and filigree behind the countless aromas and nuances. Can't wait for the first sip. As soon as he starts drinking, he really gives it gas. A great combination of maturity, yeast autolysis and minerality. The mousseux creates the first moments in a creamy and opulent manner. As soon as the melt has reached its peak, its balanced acidity sets in and ensures a tightrope walk. The acid harmonizes brilliantly with the incredible minerality. Lemon and apple aromas provide the freshness kick. The maturity of the wine cannot be denied. But matured with dignity and in this construct just the right dose. The mouthfeel is elegant and delicate. The reverberation sticks endlessly on the palate. Sensationally good wine.  

Being cask fermented, it has a complex structure and its unique bouquet allies power and richness, balance and generosity.
