Merchant's description
Belle Epoque is only produced in exceptional vintages and naturally expresses the characteristics of its particular year. The 2008 is wonderfully vibrant but also shows lovely delicacy and subtle structure. It is a blend of 50% Chardonnay from the Grands Crus of Cramant and Avize, 45% Pinot and 5% Pinot Meunier.
