The 2002 Grand Vintage Collection is remarkably bright for a vintage that produced generally much more opulent Champagnes. Orchard fruit, almond, marzipan, chamomile, dried flowers and dried apricot all fill out the wine’s frame effortlessly. Rich and sensual, but also light on its feet, the 2002 is fabulous. The 2002 is 51% Chardonnay, 26% Pinot Noir and 23% Meunier. Disgorged: May, 2017. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2019)

Jul 25th, 2019Super yeasty/bread dough, Apple, peach skin and fennel tops on the nose. Marzipan, cake icing, bread, Apple, great acid and vanilla on the palate. If you like yeast/doughy sparkling, you'll love this.
