The 1918 season resulted in large losses of grapes, with extremely low average yields in Champagne of 2,000kg/ha due to spring frosts. But there was also a lack of cultivation due to the Great War, as many vineyards were situated in the combat zone - the notorious Battle of Belleau Wood, for instance, was fought near the Marne river. 

Disgorged in 1969, this poignant Champagne displays an orange colour with a peacock's tail of aromas: eggnog, salted butter, roasted peanuts and candyfloss. In the mouth it has an assertive candied lemon flavour and a creamy yet slightly phenolic palate with refreshing acidity. It's not only an emotional taste, it's an amazingly evolved wine.
