Pertois Lebrun Le Fond du Bateau No. 13 (late disgorgement)
A late release of this brilliant single vineyard wine from the highly acclaimed 2013 vintage. The nose displays delicate ripe citrus, green apple and exotic fruits with light vanilla and toasted notes. The palate is fresh and mellow to start, but builds in intensity on the mid with a consistent mouthfeel throughout. The classic profile of citrus and chalk is balanced by rich, bready secondary flavours on the finish.
House Profile
These guys have been knocking it out of the park over the last few years. The house dates back to the early 20th Century but has been given a new lease of life with the introduction of Clemente and Antoine in the last decade or so. They work with 44 plots in Cramant, Mesnil, Chouilly, Oiry and Oger but have key plots in the fabulous single vineyards of Chetillons and Mont Aigu among others. They produce wines that are beautifully honest to the terroir and I can't wait to see what the next few years brings for them.
