In the glass, it pours a lustrous straw-gold with coppery highlights and ultra-fine, indefatigable beads of carbonation. The aromas are deep and unfolding: ripe apricot, honey-baked apples, Meyer lemon curd, brioche, roasted Mirabelle plum, baking spices, blanched almonds, fresh-picked morels, crushed rock, forest floor. As usual, it’s a Grand Cru Champagne with substantial body, impact, and length—and it’s just getting started. Estate-owned, 100% grand cru-rated vineyards are located exclusively in Bouzy.
