Mineral, apples and pears. A step down from the 2002 vintage though.

Intriguingly nutty, oxidized and FRESH! Tastes a bit like fall in a glass. Wonderful. Disgorged October 2013.

that's the bubbles I really love: fine, sharp, heart of citrus.. a clear-cut, quintessential Pinot Noir d'Ambonnay😍

Round on the front palate and fresh on the finish. Delicious.

Crisp, robust, tart, balanced. Citrus and green apple at the core with a nutty exterior.

A blend of Grand Cru wines from the greatest Champagne vintages of the past 15 years, including 2004, 2003, 2002, 1999, 1998, and several others back through the mid-1990s. Oak aging of the base wines and early 8 years aging on the lees in bottle gives this a depth and complexity to go with massive power - but also keeps it fantastically fresh and vibrant - a wine much elegant, floral with stone fruits touch, crispy mineral ton, saline and savory - a good Champagne
