Tasting Notes

With the green hues typical of Chardonnay — which accounts for 55 percent of its blend — this champagne, with its fine, abundant bubbles, offers a range of aromas that combine notes of citrus and vanilla.
“It was a perfect year for creating a vintage with aging capacity. 2004 was a vintage that couldn’t be ignored. It is well-balanced with beautiful finesse and a firm structure.” Jean-Pierre Mareigner, Cellarmaster
Suggested Serving Temperatures: Between 8 C and 10 C (46 F and 50 F)
Suggested Pairings: An ideal apéritif, the Grand Millésime Brut 2004 will also pair well with fish, small game birds or white meat. It is also the perfect accompaniment to goat cheese.
