Penet-Chardonnet - 'Terroir & Sens' Grand Cru Perpetual Reserve MV

James Suckling

This has aromas of baked apple, grilled pineapple, lemon curd, toast, pie crust, cocoa and praline. Medium to full-bodied with silky bubbles and tangy acidity. Sleek and creamy. Excellent integration and balance. 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. 2012 base wine. 5.2g/l dosage.

Pale gold. It has a discreet nose, but the palate has more classic baked-apple fruit and attractive salinity. Balanced, lengthy and very savoury, leaning towards austere. That salty note becomes dominant on the finish.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

the NV Extra-Brut Grand Cru Terroir & Sens is showing well, revealing notions of crisp golden orchard fruit, dried white flowers and honeycomb, as well as hints of the biscuity complexity to come. Medium to full-bodied, rich and structured, with a concentrated core and chalky grip on the finish, this will benefit from at least a year or two more on cork to unwind.

Wine Enthusiast

A blend of Grand Crus from Verzy and Verzenay, this Champagne has an apple and pear aroma. It is ripe with a quince flavor, spiced with yellow plum. The wine is ready to drink.
