| COMMENTS: |
Rich and biscuity on the nose. Mature citrus up front on the palate, yeast and bread through the middle, and creamy vanilla on the finish. A serious, full bodied, heavy duty champagne without overdoing it on the yeastiness. Amazingly balanced. One of the best champagnes I've ever tasted. Ever.
P.S. - Chartogne-Taillet disgorges their Tete de Cuvee just prior to shipping. The last time I tasted it (12/31/04) the bottle had been disgorged January, 2004.
