Tasting note
Champagne Pinot Noir should give this 2004 R.D. Extra Brut a vinous character, with ripe orchard fruit, citrus peel and toasted-nut aromas. Expect a brisk, finely textured palate where fine bubbles frame the fruit and bright acidity keeps the richer notes lifted. Peak maturity is projected through 2039, with the drinking horizon at 2044; a long, dry finish should carry apple, lemon and a subtle savory note.
