A great Champagne from a very small grower who misses no details with his precision and dedication. The Domaine established in 1876 produces some of the best Champagne from this wonderful locale that is Ay from Grand Cru vineyards. This wine comes from mostly 50+yr old vines vinified in 30% French oak and spends 24 months on its lees. The nose is very powerful, dominated by the aromas of fruits apricot stew, with notes of candied almonds. Mild notes of pepper and anise. On the palate, the sensation is very broad and long, with a sensation of remaining mass, ending with a spicy note.
