R. Renaudin 2005 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Lot 54
There is an Aladdin’s Cave quality to any visit to Renaudin. Our discovery this time was three separate lots of 2005 wines, each stemming from a particular vineyard holding. The exercise was not repeated, even though all three wines were truly excellent. But the jewel in the crown was Lot 56, which hailed from a prize parcel in Cramant that was subsequently lost after a split in the family. (More, possibly, of that anon.) The class of the origin shows through palpably in this wonderfully chiselled, vibrant and long-lasting cuvée, which has many, many years of life ahead of it.
