The 2018 Brut Zero Abyss, made from one third each of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay was disgorged in June, 2022 and submerged off the coast of Britanny for ten months of post-disgorgement ageing under the sea at 60 meters. The nose opens gently with a hint of ume plum and slight smokiness, followed by juicy yellow apple. The mousse is gentle, the body smooth and rounded with the ripe mellowness of 2018. A gentle phenolic edge holds pepper against rye bread crust, generous and fresh for 2018. Zero dosage. 92 points
