Millésime 2015 Nature, Blanc de Blancs Vertus Premier Cru
Matured for seven years in the Doyard-Mahé cellars, this fine vintage is eager to tell its tale with a dramatic bouquet of quince, toffee and bread dough layered over notes of apple and citrus. The palate remains zesty and full of life with flavours of lemon, green and red apple, white grapefruit and toast. A high-scoring Champagne, particularly notable for its harmonious balance, generous complexity and enduring length. 2023-2031–LW
Millésime 2016 Nature, Blanc de Blancs Vertus Premier Cru
It is always fascinating to taste two vintages of an outstanding wine side by side. As expected, the Millésime 2016 Nature Vertus Premier Cru wine is slightly more youthful than its older sibling but clearly evolving on a similarly delicious trajectory. The bouquet expresses scents of pear, apple, and lemon intermingling with nutty, honeyed notes. Fruit outpaces tertiary character on the palate with an appealing array of lemon, grapefruit, lime, green apple and toast flavours. Both intensity of flavour and length exceed expectations. 2023-2028–LW
