Tastes: 
A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this beauty sings from the first sip. Gorgeous notes of peach, brioche and butter lead out, followed by delicate red fruits, fresh strawberries and toasted almonds. Crisp tiny bubbles lend an elegance worthy of the 1996 vintage. 95 Points The Wine Insiders 

About the 1996 Vintage 
1996 is an extraordinary Champagne vintage. It has been compared to 1928, but no Champagne vintage on record produced grapes that averaged 10.3% potential alcohol with 10g/litre total acidity. There are many vintages when the grapes have ripened to a higher degree (a potential of 8.5% can be physiologically ripe in Champagne, and 10% is super-vintage ripeness, whereas 10.5% is unripe for Chardonnay or Pinot Noir in the most famous New World wine areas). But to get both potential alcohol and acidity in double-digits is unheard of, even for Champagne's unique terroir. By Tom Stevenson
