opening up and showing more nuances

This is quite good but a wine for those who can buy and forget they own it

black cherry preserves and stewed plums plus a savory undercurrent of grilled meats

along with a deeper cola accent and a hint of energizing minerality

violet pastille and spicecake flavors

Emmanuel Brochet, Haut Chardonnay Extra Brut Millesime other_regions_australia opening up and showing moreRicher and more textural than its Meunier counterpart, Brochet's 2012 Extra Brut Les Hauts Chardonnays unwinds in the glass with scents of warm pastry, pear, citrus oil, nutmeg and white flowers. Medium to full bodied, deep and concentrated, with notably chalky structuring extract and a tangy spine from acidity, it's elegantly fleshy and mouthwateringly saline, concluding with a bracing, bone dry finish.
