PV Tasting Note:

Medium gold with hints of copper. Broad shouldered, musky, leesy aromas of buttered apple and pear, with touches of caramel and toffee. Very rich and full, showing a depth and richness akin to an aged white Burgundy, with a chewy texture and powerful, ripe orchard (candied apple and smoked pear) together with pit fruit flavours.

Independent Review:

Steve Tanzer - International Wine Cellar 30-11-07
Yellow-gold color. Nutty peach and poached pear aromas are complicated by floral honey, toasted grain and chamomile. Highly complex on the palate, showing a deep, lightly roasted personality and flavors of sweet pit fruits, toasted nut and honeycomb. Finishes with brown butter and toffeed apple notes and excellent persistence. This really demands food.

Wine Spectator : 91/100
A full, creamy, mouth filling Champagne boasting flavours of baking bread, honey, vanilla pastry and hazelnut. There's enough acidity to keep it all balanced and focused through the long finish.

Josh Reynolds - International Wine Cellar: 90/100

Food recommendation:

This weighty gastronomic Champagne is perfect when served with the richest shellfish or crustacean dishes, a cep mushroom risotto, Bresse chicken with truffles or, to finish, a light soufflé-style chestnut tart.

Ideal Drinking:
Drink now through 2010.
Producer and winemaking:

Une Grande Marque de Champagne, with most of the vines planted on superb sites lying on the hillsides of Ambonnay, a village classified as a “Grand Cru” located in the “Montagne de Reims” area. This family house has raised its qualitative levels considerably over the past decade, and is recently being noticed by the likes of Robert Parker, et al.
