Aged 7 years on yeast lees and released for optimal drinking the Charles de Cazanove 2016 Vintage Champagne is the complete package. Lovely complexity and richness, this is a wine that is fitting for all occasions.
5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim Wine Orbit, October 2024 (2016 Vintage)
"A stunning expression, the immensely complex bouquet shows baked apple, almond meal, lemon peel and strong yeasty aromas. It's impressively concentrated on the palate, exhibiting outstanding depth and expansive mouthfeel. It's opulent and powerful, while remaining harmonious and balanced with a sustained, seamless finish. At its best: now to 2031"
Winery notes (2016 Vintage)
"Grapes from Premier Cru Villages. Chardonnay 56% – Côte des Blancs. Pinot Noir 44% – Montagne de Reims and Marne Valley
The colour is a deep and golden yellow. Nose: The nose is fresh and warm. It reveals savours of white fruits. Then, the citrus register appears with subtlety. Palate: Smooth and pleasant, the palate is a silky case. Well balanced, it unveils its gourmet by fruity note."
