Plaisir de Merle Grand Brut

2011

A little richer than the 2010, although still bone-dry and savoury. Buttered rye toast with honey and tangy citrus marmalade. Lots of richness and savoury, salted biscuits notes derived from the secondary bottle fermentation along with some oily complexity from bottle age, livened up by perky acidity and persistent bubbles.
