1999 Champagne
For Champagne
despite hailstorms in early May, things were initially looking good in general,
with a warm August filling the grapes with sugar and promising great things.

Sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, namely Cramant, Le Mesnil, Oger, Avize and Oirey, and afforded generous ... MORE | ||||

"From the ripe and approachable 1999 vintage, this has typically encyclopaedic notes of angelica, hazelnut, cinnamon and tobacco; how it manages to do all this is a well-guarded mystery, courtesy of the Chef Des Caves, Richard Jeffroy. Exotic elements are harnessed by hints of peppery spice with ... MORE | ||||
