Champagne, France | 80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay | 95 points AG

From the distinguished village of Verzenay, in the Montagne de Reims, this Champagne captures the elegance and tension that make this terroir so compelling. Set on the mid-slope between two hills, the vineyard’s position helps preserve a vivid freshness, while giving the wine depth, precision and remarkable aromatic lift.

The late 2013 harvest, which began in October, led to exceptional fruit quality - freshness and acidity was preserved! As legend has it, the finest wines are born under the October sun... After 11 years on the lees, the wine has developed beautifully, revealing layers of pastry, orchard fruit, citrus peel and gentle honeyed nuance.

Mature yet wonderfully fresh, this is a Champagne of poise, balance and quiet complexity. It has the structure and finesse to continue ageing gracefully.
