Impressively aromatic, showing honeysuckle, violets and lavender with bread dough and just a hint of light caramel as well as dried apples, cooked pears and tarte tatin. Reductive with graphite, stone and iodine. Some chalk too. Full-bodied but not at all heavy, turning almost weightless. Nine years on the lees and 7 g/L dosage give energy, length and form. Goes on for minutes. This will age beautifully but is already fascinating, evolving in the glass. Available in the US market in November. Drink or hold.

Pouring a bright silver-yellow hue, the NV Champagne Grand Siècle Iteration No. 27 is very pretty on the nose, with notes of wet stone, delicate smokiness, apricot, and lavender. Medium-bodied, it’s long on the palate, with silky complexity and pillowy mousse, offering key lime, lemon meringue, green apples, and a salty spice. With its silky, long finish, it reveals a sunny but refined elegance and is a very pretty edition. The complementary vintages are a blend of 2015, 2013, and 2012, with 65% from 2015 and 10% from 2012. The blend is 60/40 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, sourced from Mesnil-sur-Oger. Drink 2027-2057. It is less obvious than No. 26, but it has a lot of delicate almond and tertiary nuances hiding underneath.

Poured from magnum after ample aeration, this Champagne exudes refined opulence with its layers of nuance. Aromas of lemon curd, lime zest, almond patisserie, acacia honey, and chalk draw you in. The palate is sunny and effortless, with ripe citrus, wild florals, orchard fruit, and a soft chalky finish. Drinking wonderfully now but should also cellar with ease well through 2045+.
