1989 Champagne
The 2nd in a trio of great vintages. Spring was early and was followed by ideal growing conditions with a very hot summer leading to a large crop of very ripe and healthy grapes being harvested in September and October.
The champagnes are rich, luscious and soft, being exceptionally appealing in youth but also possessing enough rip and acidity to reward extended cellaring. In style, and character the champagnes are reminiscent of the glorious 1982 vintage.

This Chardonnay dominated blend has a refined, delicate fruitiness and a panoply of richer, herbal and nettle nuances. On the palate the mousse is gently creamy, with a nectarine-like sweetness to the fruit, gossamer-light finesse and exquisite length. A beautiful wine. Only 48 magnums were ... MORE | ||||

Be quick if you want one of the few bottles that exist of this 50/50 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blend, which has a fine, oxidised, bruised apple quality, though there is an underpinning sense of peachy ripeness. Great vibrancy here; alive and vital on the palate with intense mid-palate ... MORE | ||||

120 magnums were bottled of this blanc de blancs from the Grand Cru Avize. It is more nettly and leafy than the straight 1989 Dégorgement Tardif, with a fine bruised apple quality and some waxy lemon-rind character. The palate has fantastic freshness and zing again, with rapier-like acidity ... MORE | ||||
