Mundus Vini: Great Gold Medal & Best Sparkling of the Year 2006
Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: 95 points
The simple flourish of harmonious lines in the "Femme de Champagne" bottle heralds the depth of this wine on the palate and its golden, pearly colour.
This wine imposes itself freely, demonstrating its Grand Crus : 79% Chardonnay and 21% Pinot Noir. Hailing from well-chosen plots in the heart of their terroirs, the grape varieties used carry their excellent fruit through to maturity.
This Champagne heightens all the senses: its refined elegance lets out a breath of flowery flavours with hints of lime blossom, honey, brioche and hazelnuts; its personality expresses a deep intensity. Its velvety mousse fits perfectly with the whole taste balance. A lively impression prolongs its lasting effect. International awards and gold medals crown this cuvee's unique qualities.
Highly Recommended by Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: “A strong graphite aroma leads into sumptuous flavours of tobacco, biscuit, citrus and walnut in this athletic Champagne. It’s very vinous, a serious bubbly that can stand up to light meat and poultry dishes. Kaleidoscopic finish." 95 points.
Chardonnay 79%, Pinot Noir 21%.
ALLOCATION WINE: This is an allocation wine, a wine where demand substantially exceeds availability of supply due to limited production or rarity of vintage. Rather than mark-up to reflect this rarity, we simply reserve the right to exclude this wine from headline price promotions.
