🍇85% Grand Cru Chardonnay + 15% Grand Cru Pinot Noir
⏰Nearly 15 years of aging (including over 11 years on its lees) left this wine smelling like cinnamon and nutmeg baked goods and tasting like ginger and cardamom, with pomegranates and dried apricot. — a month ago

All right. Here we go. Still very young, but incredibly integrated. The Dom flavor profile, but on a different level. The tartness balanced the fruitiness perfectly. Such an incredible champagne — a month ago
What a treat ! Beautiful structure, even at 20 years old. Still a yellow lemon color, not at all showing its age. Tiny and vibrant bubbles. Pastries, biscuits on the nose, beautiful rounded mouth-feel barely a hint of age. Never disappoints. Thanks Acquis, received in July 2015. Opening for a special occasion. — 2 months ago

I’ve been drinking this slowly over a week and a half. At this point it tastes like a fortified or mulled wine. It’s deep, inky like ox blood, burnt copper color around the rim. The smell is mulled red fruit, raspberry, strawberry, dry earth, purple flowers, sweet lavender. Very delicate tannins remain with an acidity that tickles the edges of the tongue and fades quickly. What you’re left with is something that resembles a young fortified wine with beautiful red fruit, earth, a floral element that lingers, and a slight hint of mushroom. It’s quite lovely and unexpected. — a month ago
