"This cuvée expresses the elegance of a great year. Made from a blend of predominantly Grand and Premier Crus, this wine reveals the complexity, richness and tension of this vintage with precision and pride. 2014 was marked by a mild winter, a warm spring and a cool, wet summer. Albeit late, the excellent weather in mid-August continuing through to September allowed the black grape varieties to ripen and produced uniform and beautifully ripe Chardonnays. With no major climate incident, the yield was satisfactory. 2014 delivered fresh and crisp Chardonnays, elegant and balanced Pinot Noirs, and zesty Meuniers." - House Notes
"This is a fresh and delightful champagne composed of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay grapes, which are very round and layered. A lively & rich nose exudes fruity and floral aromas – of orchard flowers, & honeysuckle - which leads to a palate of baked apple, pie crust layered with yellow peaches and grilled almonds. Some blueberries appear with touches of plum and layers of toasted brioche interspersed with pieces of berry-layered nougat. There is a good creamy length with excellent open fruit structure on the palate, beautifully balanced, and it has an impressive length. Amazing value for money from this very excellent vintage." - Bernadette O'Shea, Champagne Consultant, TWE
