long and serious finish

There is a lovely energy suffusing the refined and detailed medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a beautifully long if decidedly serious

Fermented with whole clusters and long skin contact (generally 10–12 weeks across the Raúl Pérez stable but occasionally as much as 6 months if the vintage allows)

Robert Fleury, Bolero Extra Brut other_regions it has a dense purpleThe 2008 Extra Brut Bolro is a pure Pinot Noir, golden and evolving. The nose shows off crumbly Scottish shortbread with its promise of salty butter and textured richness alongside a smattering of white pepper. The baked and caramelized yet salty skin of Mirabelle plums adds an aromatic highlight but all here points to depth. The saltiness continues right onto the palate where a rounded but immensely contoured body channels Pinot power deep into soil.
