winemaker's notes:
This exceptional Blanc de Blancs is one of the most celebrated champagnes in the world. Made with five of the best growths from the Côte des Blancs -- Oger, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Vertus, Cramant and Avize. This exquisite wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, only produced in small quantities in years of exceptional quality.
The color is silvery with a delicate shimmer. On the nose there are elegant notes of fresh bark that lead to spices and macerated fruits. On the palate, charming, smooth and serene. Dry, slightly candied finish with fleshy notes of marrons glacés.
critical acclaim:
"Lovely and expressive, with the ethereal texture of fine silk, showing precise balance and integration, and weaving together flavors of smoky toasted hazelnut, coffee liqueur, patisserie apple, candied ginger and a hint of white truffle. Fresh and vibrant, with a lasting finish. Drink now through 2027."

Wine Spectator
"This 12-year old shows signs of maturity, but retains freshness and liveliness as well. With its yeasty edge, toasty flavors and wonderful white fruits all in balance, it is finely balanced. The acidity is kept in check by the richness of the mature fruit. A very complete Champagne."

Wine Enthusiast
" Vivid gold. Heady aromas of candied citrus fruits, flowers, truffle, gingerbread and iodine, with an intensely smoky overtone. Deep, pungent and palate-staining, with the orchard and pit fruit flavors reaching every corner of the palate and showing impressive power without any excess weight. Even more extroverted than last year's release, finishing with excellent cling and lingering smokiness."

International Wine Cellar
"A golden arrow of mouthwatering flavor, this has matured to a push–pull of dark caramel and hazelnut richness with undertones of fresh fruit. The flavors run as deep as they are long, lasting on pale limestone sweetness. This is a bold Champagne to serve with robust dishes, like partridge braised with wild mushrooms."
