The 2005 Millésime Gold Label is a very pretty wine. Silky, perfumed and gracious on the palate, the 2005 is impeccably balanced. Soft curves make the 2005 easy to drink now. Moreover, the 2005 doesn’t have any of the odd mushroomy flavors or advanced notes that are typical of so many 2005s. This is a very pretty, supple style for a wine made with no malolactic fermentation. The 2005 remains fresh and light on its feet, with an exotic floral top note that lingers on the finish. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2018)

I like my champagne like I like my men - a little nutty, with a little age, and damn fine.

1996 vintage - golden hue -showing its age with reductive nose & palate - losing its bubble - not sure whether to hold the others any longer
