This bottle is all about power both on the nose and in the mouth. Wave after wave of no dosage chalky goodness assaults your mouth. Finished long despite the straitjacket structure. Lipsmacking good.

James Bond may have been right about many things, but he was never more wrong than when he proscribed serving champagne at or below 38° Fahrenheit; failure to do so being the equivalent of “listening to the Beatles without earmuffs.” This is a lovely champagne from a fabulously slutty vintage—chalky creaminess underpinned by zinging acidity & firm structure. With a little time and care—and without much coaxing, great sensual pleasure can be had—something I think even Bond would bend his rule for.
