Jean Vesselle
Millésimé Prestige Grand Cru Brut Champagne
Bouzy, Montagne de Reims, Champagne, France
Don’t think this is the same sku…this is vintage- this out of Magnum. 2005 and disgorged date was 8/2022. 17yr on lees!! This wine was incredible. Rich, deep and leesy without being overblown or nutty. The color was great. Brilliant hay. In a line up of amazing, rare and prized wines, this was the wine of the night and made everyone pause.
