Crab Apple

Pierre Péters

Cuvée de Réserve Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne

Very grassy. Key lime pie, green apple, and a load of primary yeast flavor. This is beautifully balanced and I think it will benefit from some time in bottle. Disgorged 2019 — 5 years ago

@Peter Marks Interesting re longevity. Just read a tasting note on the 1996 RD Where It said halfway through its life.

Hi Bob, this was the 1990 vintage, and warmer year, and I think more advanced and ready to drink than the 1996. Could be the bottle too!
