The 2020 Blanc de Noirs Presle is quite powerful and dense this year, as evidenced by its textural richness and dark color. The wilder side of Pinot Noir comes alive in this sauvage, dense Champagne. I imagine a few years in bottle will help this come together, but there is little question that the 2020 Presle offers a bit less textural finesse and overall polish than is the norm here. No dosage. Disgorged: April 2024.
