This decadently rich Champagne is beginning to open gracefully. For many years it seemed closed and tight, but today, it is beginning to soften and reveal its secrets. The aromas start with a base of ripe apple accented with a splash of red fruit notes and range to liuqorice, smoke and toasted brioche. The mousse is still very lively, and the texture is creamy and supple, with enough substance to linger impressively on the palate while retaining all its finesse. Produced from 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir, all from grand cru villages.
