Tasting notes
75% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay. Dosage 4 g/l. Disgorged October 2022. So rich and dense and 'gras' and sweetly fattily savoury that it takes me to bacon fat and pork scratchings. Rich and oily and very set and muscular. Big bones. Big structure. A blast of drama and colonnaded majesty. You could not drink this without food. It's almost intimidating! (TC)

The 2015 Extra-Brut Aÿ Grand Cru captures all the richness of Aÿ and of this dry, sunny vintage. Racy and exuberant, the 2015 offers up an exciting mix of crushed red berry fruit, lemon confit, ginger, cinnamon and dried rose petals. The Aÿ is a blend pf Pinot Noir from Froide-Terre and Chardonnay from Brise-Pot, co-fermented, with the Chardonnay lending notable freshness. That is especially evident on the lively finish. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 2022.
