Shows oxidation and has moved very much into the territory of tertiary aromas with mushroom, smoke, complex savouriness and notes of torrefaction. This is, as cellarmaster Cyril Brun noted, a wine that really demands food to be seen at its complex best. He suggests a mushroom risotto or mature cheese – some Comte, 24-month Parmesan or perhaps an aged Cantal. Base wine: 1987; Disgorged: 1996; Dosage: 12g/L; 32% reserve wine.
