Wild cherry and berry flavors form a pure beam of ripe fruit in this mouthwatering Champagne, layered with well-cut acidity and a minerally underpinning. A delicate thread of aromatic spice accents notes of grilled nut, spun honey and lemon curd that linger on the finish. Disgorged October 2018. Drink now through 2024.

Pale silver. Mineral-laced citrus and orchard fruit aromas display excellent energy and focus. Brisk, mouthwatering and pure, offering stony lemon and quince flavors and a slow-building baked apple quality. Very clean, nervy and light on its feet, with excellent persistence.

The NV Brut Grand Cru Réserve is a rich, boisterous wine that showcases incredible intensity in its fruit. The fat, rich style completely covers every inch of the palate and a sweet, perfumed finish reminiscent of ethereal plums and kirsch offers final notes of elegance. The Grand Cru Réserve is 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay (all Ambonnay). The base vintage is 2006, with equal parts 2004 and 2003 that round out the blend. Disgorged June 24, 2009.
