Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 08 Apr 25
The NV Grande Cuvée Grand Siècle No. 22 (magnum) is powerful, deep and quite resonant. This is an especially rich Grand Siècle, a Champange endowed with tremendous textural presence from start to finish. Apricot, candied ginger, spicecake, chamomile and candied orange peel are all amplified. The No. 22 is very much a Champagne for the dinner table. I imagine it will pair spectacularly with just about anything. This is a very fine Grand Siècle. Disgorged: October 25, 2023.

Champagne

Champagne, exclusively from France's Champagne region, is synonymous with luxury and celebration. Made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating its signature bubbles. Flavours range from crisp green apple and citrus to rich, toasty notes of nuts and honey. Yeast contact in the bottle contributes to pastry and brioche notes, which are a key part of good quality Champagne. Top producers include Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Krug.
