19,5+/20 - MATTHEW JUKES - NOVEMBER 2021 " I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES, LET ALONE TEN, TWENTY OR THIRTY! I HOPE I AM HERE TO TASTE THIS WINE TO REALISE ITS POTENTIAL. "
99 - ANNE KREBIEHL MW - FALLSTAFF - NOVEMBER 2021
This cuvée Blanc de Noirs vinified in oak casks allows the richest of the terroir and the purity of the wine to express itself. This rare vintage of incredible typicality will live on for future decades with strength and elegance
"In the 1950s my grandmother set aside this park-like space next to our house in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ with vines, flowers and fruit trees, for our enjoyment. Realising this outstanding terroir`s potential, my family decided to plant the first Pinot Noir vines here in 1964. We tried using the Pinot Noir to make white wine in small Burgundy barrels: outstanding champagne was about to be born. After several years of painstakingly tending the vines, the 1995 harvest, the first year of this unique cuvée, was remarkable. We called it Le Clos Saint-Hilaire after the patron saint of the church in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. No more than 3,500 to 7,500 bottles are produced each year and each is individually numbered." François Roland-Billecart, 6th Generation
Appearance: The magic of a terroir blended with expertise and ancestral know-how, reveals a deep yellow-gold hue, underlined by intensely golden reflections. The graceful effervescence of fine bubbles softened by the patina of time.
Palate: The ample and imposing texture, with hints of citrus fruit flesh and pears in syrup (candied lemon zest, mandarin pulp), emerges against a base note of panettone. With a richness bursting with flavours (puffed buckwheat and precious wood), the wine is carried by the fullness of taste with bewitching charm culminating in a deliciously chalky root mineral.
Aroma: A noble, racy expression with an extremely complex, vinous impact on the nose (touch of biscuit, freshly roasted hazelnuts, white pepper). A refined development highlighting the scintillating concentrations of ripe and intense fruit (nuts and sweet spices).
Tasting: Each rare vintage of this unique grande cuvée consists of no more than 6,000 bottles. When served at cellar temperature (12/14°), this micro cuvée will surprise your palate when paired with Wild Turbot and Burmese coffee.
