Vieille Vigne du Levant Grand Cru Champagne Blend
Cramant, Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France
From magnum. Initially quite linear and more of an aperitif with bright citrus and apple notes with lovely acidity. After 90 minutes however, this became a much more gastronomic champagne with pineapple and powerful autolytic notes of toasted brioche and almonds. It was awesome and a reserved my last pour to sip on until the very end. From the bottle inscription, this looked to be disgorged 6/11/2019

Bright and zippy. Good acidity- chalk and lemon oil. Great but young

Very dry with heavy minerality. Focused with grapefruit heavy citrus that leaves the plate quickly. Heavy acidity.

I love this cuvee. I was worried that 09 was too forward of a vintage for this wine, but that was silly. On the nose: vanilla cream, sweet lemon chiffon, airy wet stone...fantastically lifted aromatically. On the palate, lovely acidty, baked apple, lemon custard, caramel, soft mousse, a touch of oxidative copper, and a very clean, finish. Absolutely lovely champagne.

First created in the 1988 vintage, the Vieilles Vignes de Levant Extra Brut is a vintage cuvee produced from the oldest Grand Cru vines in the village of Cramant- ranging from fifty to eighty year-old vines. Like the Terre de Vertus, it is a single vintage cuvée fermented in oak, rather than stainless steel, though in this case, it is a combination of large foudres and smaller Burgundy barrels that are used. The wine receives a very low dosage of two grams per liter prior to release.
