Forest-Marié 2010 Champagne Brut
An equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, entirely from the Écueil holdings, this is an excellent successor to the much-lauded 2008. Slenderer and, in a way, finer, it whirls like a dervish in a manic frenzy of sinuous, barely torrefied fruit, and ends with an explosion of salt.
