The nose offers fresh black fruits with touches of tea leaves

The 2011 Blanc de Noirs Côte de Béchalin is terrific

orange rind and warm bread

Paolo De Marchi gave the 2013 a year in barrique and second year in cask

Thierry Violot-Guillemard, Pommard Epenots Size:6x750ml The nose offers fresh black(from Petits Epenots). Ripe but attractively fresh aromas include those of poached plum, black cherry, restrained violet and just turned earth. The rich, full bodied and caressing flavors also possess excellent volume and solid mid palate density, all wrapped in a sneaky long finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. Lovely.
