Coteaux Champenois Rouge d'Ambonnay Cuvee Athenais

From a third of a hectare of old vines planted in 1905. Xavier remains true the ideas for his Champagnes – that is to say he is seeking full ripeness, and the wine is all aged in barrel. A deep colour and bright cherry fruit, with a spicy overlay and pure silky feel. Long on red berry and pure Pinot juice. Hypnotic, dense, ripe, strawberry-tinged and rarely-made red wine – from 97-year old Pinot Noir vines grown on the steepest slopes of Ambonnay – among the best still wines of Champagne.

Coteaux Champenois Rouge d'Ambonnay Cuvee Athenais 2020	90 Vinous The 2020 Côteaux Champenois Millésime Cuvée Athénaïs has a generously red color and brims with earthy, juicy Pinot-ness on the nose. The palate is super smooth and ripe with resolved, silky tannin. Yet, despite the alcoholic strength, the medium body and smoothness, there is nothing overripe, nothing opulent. Yes, this is ripe, but stony, chalky austerity makes it all work. Balance, freshness and full fruit make for a lovely red Pinot Noir with exquisite perfume and balance.
