Overview

We have re-ignited our love affair with sparkling wine, a project Penfolds first explored on Australia soil in the early 1900’s. Now more than a century later, we set our sights on France and the region of Champagne. Partnering with Thiénot, a respected player in the world of Champagne, Penfolds has worked in tandem with their team to release an extraordinary 2013 Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru. A Champagne worthy of celebrating our past, present and future

Aÿ – once again confirmed as the pinot noir epicentre of the Thiénot x Penfolds Champagne alliance!

Taste Description

Engulfs and asserts … so gracefully, so alluringly, so convincingly.
Ever so subtle flavours of mocha and toffee, Reglis root (liquorice?) - powerful yet elegant; rich yet fine. Very pinot noir!
Lively acidity respects mouthfeel, conveying varietal fruit offerings and palate length. Never distracts.
Rich. Dosage in perfect balance. Complete.

PALATE

NOSE

An aromatic revelation that automatically ID’s variety, place and style. Immediately a burst of dried flowers (rose and iris) and myrtilles (blueberry) … followed by some cherried red fruits, and a skerrick of ripe blackcurrant, cassis.
Energetic bead/CO2 propels scents of just-baked canelé, a waft of cinnamon, and creamy coffee/mocha notes.
Lurking below - cold lard … too faint to detect derivation, temptingly a subliminal cue to later seek out a canard (duck) or agneau (lamb) accompaniment in another place!

Colour

Pale straw.
