Chartogne-Taillet Cuvee Orizeaux Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut 2020

Tasting Notes

The 2020 Blanc de Noirs Orizeaux, disgorged in December 2024 with a dosage of two grams per liter, is showing magnificently. Sourced from old-vine Pinot Noir planted adjacent to Chartogne’s Les Barres parcel and vinified entirely in oak, it bursts from the glass with a vibrant, expressive bouquet of crisp pear, peach, white blossoms and red plum, interwoven with nuances of blood orange. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, deep and layered, offering compelling complexity. The wine’s impressive concentration and energy are underpinned by tangy, mouthwatering acidity that propels it toward a long, chalk-infused finish. This is a dynamic, gastronomic Champagne—an eloquent partner for elevated culinary pairings. 2025-2034.
