Antonio Galloni 96 pts! The 2008 Extra-Brut Aÿ Vauzelle Terme emerges from a tiny parcel measuring just 0.30 hectares planted by Jean-Hervé Chiquet in 1980. Resonant and silky, with striking layers of nuance, the Vauzelle Terme captures a striking balance between power and translucency that is absolutely compelling. Soaring Pinot aromatics and saline overtones build into the expansive, captivating Pinot. Interestingly, when Chiquet planted this parcel, volume production was the number one objective, so the vineyard is now necessarily farmed with greater attention to managing yields. No dosage. Disgorged: April 2018. (Drink between 2020 - 2030)
