Joseph Perrier 2013 La Cote A Bras Brut Nature 750ml

Flint and crushed stone with white pepper, sliced pear and candied lemon. Full-bodied with density and a layered mouth-feel. Tight finish. Powerful and very long with excellent structure. From a 0.8ha single parcel of pinot noir in Cumieres, planted in 1982. Better after 2024, but already impressive.
