Tasting Notes
Just enjoying a bottle over an hour or two as a treat is so special. It opens up and becomes more expressive and the flavours go to another level, and it reveals even more how special it really is. The aromas captivate and you get wonderul weight and texture on the palate, like drinking grand wine. It has richness, but also finesse and elegance. The beautiful Grand Cru Chardonnay component gives this magnificent Champagne its structure, elegance and longevity and the Pinot Noir some satisfying deep berry fruit and the Pinot Meunier some pretty, lifted fruit aromas.
