Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
This 2009 Cuvée Umami Grand Cru Extra Brut was disgorged in March 2013. It offers a very clear, pure and complex aroma with a lovely chalkiness and iodine flavor on the nose that leads to rich, full-flavored and highly complex taste on the palate. The wine is very fresh and mineral, and shows much more purity and vibrancy than half a year ago when I rated it for the first time. This is an excellent champagne (70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir) that has quite a lot of finesse and shall develop over the next ten years, if not more.
