This was attached to the Gite where we stayed. First tasting of the day at 9:30am!
1. Cuvee du Melomane, Blanc de Blanc
Delicate, bready, lemon, grapefruit. Very acidic. Good length.
2. Carte d'Or Grand Cru
90% Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay
Very noticeable acid. More intense and fuller bodied than previous. Lemon, some strawberry notes on finish. Good length.
3. 2008 Vintage
50% Pinot Noir, 50% Chardonnay. Approx 10% of their production goes into this. There was no vintage in 2007, previous one was 2006.
Lifted, somewhat floral nose. Yeast autolysis. Very elegant. Some complexity, although green apple is the main aroma.
4. Rose "Cuvee Yllen"
100% Pinot Noir. Macerated, not blended, rose.
Very noticeable strawberry on the nose and palate. Not one of the roses which would taste like a white Champagne if tasted blind. Good acid, good structure. Long, with pleasant finish. This was my favourite from this producer.
