The 2014 Extra-Brut Millesime is fabulous. Rich, deep and expansive, the Millesime soars out of the glass, showing magnificent concentration and layers of flavor that build into the nuanced, palate staining finish. For readers who have not discovered these wines yet, the 2014 is a great place to start. The 2014 is a blend of 70% Meunier and 30% Pinot Noir. Bottled with no dosage. Disgorged: March, 2021. • By Antonio Galloni on November 2022

Made from 70% Meunier raised in fuder and the remainder Pinot Noir in stainless steel, the 2014 Champagne Millésime Extra Brut is pretty, with a sweet umami note of shitake broth, red plum, and red flowers. The palate is medium-bodied but powerful in its attack, with wildflowers, herbs, and juicy citrus. It has a soft stony feel and a bit of bitter citrus on the finish. This needs some time to show its full potential, as it is somewhat tighter coiled at this stage than the rest of the range. Drink 2025-2042.
