93 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide (2024).
br> The 2012 Love Story cuvée is made from a blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir from the oldest vines of Domaine on the terroirs of Cramant and Bouzy in Grand Cru. Vinification in wood - 6/7-year-old 228L Burgundy oak barrels - allows for the perfect balance between very fine amplitude and mineral character. This is followed by aging on the lees in bottle for at least 10 years. After disgorgement the dosage is minimal, 1.5 g/L (extra brut). The wine is expressive, the nose is intense and dominated by red fruits. The palate is rich, white peach, mirabelle plum, pear in syrup, and lifted by a few notes of roasted almonds and sweet spices. The beautiful ripeness, is expressed right through to the finish, while preserving plenty of mineral freshness. A gourmet wine, ideal for foie gras and onion confit, but which can also coat roast pigeon.
