"The 2016 Extra-Brut Essence de Billiot (100% Pinot Noir) is a very pretty wine. Dried pear, hazelnut, chamomile and pastry notes suggest that the 2016 has reached a plateau of maturity. I would not push my luck too far on aging, as there is already a bit of resolution here. Even so, the 2016 has plenty to offer, especially for readers who admire Pinot Noir from Ambonnay. Zero dosage. Disgorged: September, 2022."
