Tasting Notes:
This vintage Champagne has a very complex, pastry nose revealing vanilla, hazelnut and almond notes. It has a robust structure and a nice, full character wherein its richness and complexity are complimented by peppery aromas which remain through to the finish.
The Brut Millésime pairs perfectly with refined dishes.
