The Cuvée Réserve bottling from Monsieur Suenen is made from the family vineyards in Montigny, so this wine from the base year of 2012 will be the last iteration of this bottling. Consequently, fully forty-five percent of the blend is comprised of reserve wines for this final release, as they would be of no use for future wines based on Côte des Blancs vineyard sources. The resulting wine is made up of a blend of forty-five percent each of pinot noir and pinot meunier, with the final ten percent of the blend being chardonnay. The wine was finished with a dosage of eight grams per liter and has turned out beautifully, with a bit extra complexity from the very high percentage of reserve wines in the blend. The bouquet is a fine and very elegant mix of white peach, lovely soil tones, patissière, a touch of smokiness and a potpourri of gentle meunier floral tones. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and refined, with a lovely core, frothy mousse, excellent balance and complexity and a long, bright and vibrant finish. Really lovely juice and a fine way to go out for this bottling! 2015-2025+. Gilman 91+
