Tasting notes
The 2014 Cuvée Gastronome is already quite open, which makes it a good choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Dried pear, dried flowers, mint and savory notes all add character. The 2014 is quite attractive, even if it doesn’t have the persistence or energy of the very best wines in this range. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 20, 2018.

Disgorged in July 2018 with five grams per liter dosage, the 2014 Brut 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Gastronome is showing beautifully, bursting from the glass with an expressive bouquet of ripe citrus fruits, Anjou pear, warm bread and fresh peach. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy but fine boned, with ripe but racy acids, a pretty core of fruit and an elegantly chalky finish.
