1982 vintage. In magnum. Medium lemon hue with delicate bubbles. Roasted aromas, ripe citrus fruits, almond, smoke. Hints of roasted coffee beans Complex. On the palate, high acidity, medium body, medium alcohol and medium plus concentration. Very long and elegant whilst being surprisingly fresh and moreish. Hard to fault. Drink now until 2026+.

1982 vintage. Revelatory wine. Huge complexity, balance and harmony. World class champagne. Burgundy like puligny fruit profile. Very long. Great acidity and length. A masterly wine.
