The bouquet of the 2013 Brut Millésimé is compellingly fresh and minty, complicated by notes of white fruit—notably pear and apple—citrus and gentle spices, as well as a light touch of smoke. With aeration, elegant pastry notes come to the fore. On the palate, this is a structured, tension-filled but airborne Champagne with racy acidity, fleshy and charming texture and a long, penetrating finish. It should age well over the next eight to 10 years. Disgorged in 2022 with nine grams per liter, this is a blend of 57% Pinot Noir and 43% Chardonnay.

About this wine
Champagne
Champagne is produced mainly from three grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Each of these contributes to the complexity and flavor palette of the finished wine. The vineyards of Champagne are surrounded by historic vineyards that often have deep roots in centuries-old winemaking tradition. Champagne wine is produced in accordance with strict rules and standards defined by the French AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) system. This ensures that only wine from this specific area can carry the prestigious label "Champagne". From the iconic Dom Pérignon to more accessible brands, Champagne represents a symbol of celebration and elegance worldwide. Often used to mark special events and highlights in life, its popularity continues to grow as a global icon of sparkling wine.
