Full and complex nose dominated by ripe apple and baked bread. The structure was starting to fade a touch but there was tremendous character and complexity. Long finish and creamy texture. #chartognetaillet #champagne #ctbucklinwine

2004 vintage. Cheese rind and lemon curd. Beautiful stuff. A tad bit early.

2002 vintage. Made by Alexandre's mother.
I forgot how truly great this cuvée is, I just hope Alexandre will continue to make a tiny amount of this stuff.
