2000 UKC, Grand Cru, Mailly

"More in the mould of the superb UKC 1998 than its immediate forebear, this is a rich and finely textured blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay; its ageing has been over four years, its pedigree impeccable and its gustatory profile complex and rounded. Bravo!"
(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)

A Pinot Noir based cuvee with 30% Chardonnay for added backbone. Toasty, creamy and rich with lovely brioche notes and a dry finish.
(Tim Atkin MW, Top 20 Picks from Berrys' Summer Sale, www.timatkin.com, 14 July 2011)

A delightful Champagne for drinking now with lively bubbles and a fine yeasty, honey and brioche character, both on the note and the palate. The acidity is firm enough, but would benefit from drinking now and at the latest Christmas.
