Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The bright golden NV Cuvée 3A Grand Cru Extra Brut is a 50/50 blend of old vine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from three grands crus; Avize, Aÿ and Ambonnay. The youngest edition is based on 2011 and displays a generous bouquet with spicy flavors of (new) oak, intertwined with ripe white and red fruit, as well as lemon aromas and some mineral flavors. Pure and fresh on the palate, with generous tropical fruit aromas, this is a rich and full-bodied Champagne with mineral tension, fine tannins and a persistent finish. Still pretty young, the 3A has a good ageing potential.
