This wine is a blend of very old vine (50+ years) Verzenay Pinot Noir and Mesnil Chardonnay in equal proportions. The Chardonnay comes from Delphine Cazals, who trades Patrick for red wine so she can make rose. This wine has been given the time that it needs for the two very different terroirs to marry, and is a spectacular example of the small scale blending of two great villages. I can't really think of anything to compare the wine to, but it is an experience not to be missed. We only received four Methuselah's of this wine and they each contain the same amount of champagne as eight regular bottles. (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne buyer)
