| Tasting Notes | : | In contrast to Les Montants and Les Epinettes, where the 2019s outperformed their 2020 counterparts, it is the more tightly wound 2020 Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Les Vignes Goisses that stands out. Produced from old-vine Pinot Meunier as an experiment to assess the variety’s potential in Verzy, Renoir now crafts it almost annually, weather permitting. He explains that in Verzy, the chalkiest sites, which tend to yield the most racy wines, are found at lower altitudes where the clay topsoil is just 40 to 50 centimeters deep, while higher slopes contain up to two meters of clay. Disgorged in June 2024 with a dosage of 1.6 grams per liter, it wafts from the glass with a deep bouquet of peach, red berries, pear and spice. On the palate, the wine is bright and seamless, with chalky structure and mouthwatering acidity, marked by a distinct tension and saline finish. |
