The 2012 Pitois Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Brut Nature is a mature Champagne showing lemon, green apple and ripe pear with brioche, toasted almond, citrus peel and delicate mineral notes.
On the palate, it is bone-dry and finely textured, with vibrant acidity, fine bubbles and layers of citrus, orchard fruit and subtle pastry character. Bottle age adds depth and savoury complexity, leading to a long, dry and mineral-driven finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Champagne drinkers who appreciate mature, zero-dosage styles with freshness and complexity. Best enjoyed now or over the next 4–6 years. Serve chilled with oysters, scallop crudo, Tasmanian smoked trout or aged Comté.
