Amazing grower #Champagne. #wine

Bubbles super active in the flute. Very fresh. Smells of bread dough, yellow apples and subtle toast. Initial taste of bitter chocolate, coconut, and more dough, soft fuji apples. Opened 3/22/17

Bright and luscious. Apple, lemon, crème, and yeast. Zippy with luxurious bubbles. Delish!

Our annual tradition to open a Grand Vintage by Varnier-Fannière at New Year's Eve. The 2012 is pretty good stuff! Soft, minerals, with good concentration and long aftertaste. Happy New Year!
