| TASTING NOTE: This Champagne is third in a limited release aimed at highlighting the qualities of four particular vintages (2004, 2005, 2008 and 2009). The 2008 vintage is considered one of the region's greatest of all time, with the wines defined by the exuberance and freshness of their acidity and the concentration and depth of their lavishly framed fruit. This wine will age into the early 2030s. |
