Vintage Champagne Trio

The 2008 vintage has enjoyed extended ageing on its yeast lees before disgorgement, followed by further maturation in bottle, resulting in a beautifully complex and harmonious Champagne. Aromas of brioche, toasted hazelnut, lemon curd and baked apple lead to a palate of remarkable freshness and finesse, with a fine, persistent mousse and a long, savoury finish. Now drinking superbly, this is an outstanding partner for shellfish, lobster or simply enjoyed on its own.

A beautifully mature blanc de blancs from Boizel, the 2006 combines the richness of a warm vintage with the freshness and finesse of Côte des Blancs chardonnay. Citrus and ripe orchard fruit are joined by toasted almond, brioche and honey, with a fine mineral thread bringing definition. Complex, vinous and showing signs of its maturity, this is a great wine to savour.

Now beautifully mature, Deutz's 2006 combines ripe apricot and orchard fruit with toasted almond, brioche and a touch of citrus peel. Generous and rounded on the palate, yet retaining lovely freshness and a fine, persistent mousse, this is an elegant, harmonious vintage Champagne showing the complexity of extended bottle age. Released from the House for a 20-year retrospective.
