"The 2013 Brut Nature Hautes Mottes Grand Cru is powerful and dense. Showing savory and mineral-driven elements, the 2013 displays more richness and flavor because of its aging in 350L barrels. Apricot, hazelnut, spice, pastry and baked apple tart are some notes that build in the glass, finishing with bright acids that lend freshness. This is a fine choice for readers looking for a Champagne with some volume. Powerful and a bit rough around the edges, this is an intriguing offering. Zero dosage. Disgorged: November 24, 2022."
