Huon Hooke
Medium yellow hue with a complex, developed bouquet showing toasty, bready, brioche-like aged characters, and a voluminous flavour which really fills the entire mouth and gives a creamy soft mouth-feel and fluffy, pillowy texture that lingers on and on. Exceptional length. The finish is dry and cleansing, inviting another sip. It's a serious food wine of weight and dryness and terrific persistence - enough to handle some pretty robust foods. Quail would not be out of order.

Bernard Brémont captures the poise and power of Ambonnay in a style that contrasts pear and apple fruit with the roast hazelnut complexity of bottle age. Acidity and dosage meld in a harmonious finish, energised by the fine chalk minerality of the village, with just a touch of phenolic grip closing.
