The 1995 vintage was a very classic year for Champagne with perfect weather conditions that gave rise to elegant wines structured by a superb acidity and revealing a magnificent aromatic complexity. The expression of balanced maturity and well integrated flavours is further enhanced by the Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs blended with a smaller proportion of Pinots noirs grown in chalky soils.

The classic bouquet reveals the complexity imparted by ageing the wine on its lees. Autolytic aromas and smoky notes intertwine with marine and vegetal scents. Straw drying in the sun, slightly peaty notes and salty sea breeze freshness give way to white truffle and caramel.

The palate is rich, smooth and ever so slightly sweet. Thecomplex palate combines umami flavours, iodised notes, sweetness, vegetal overtones and aromas of cedar wood. The rich, creamy and juicy texture is lengthened by an energetic, fresh and saline finish. An expertly performed balancing act!
