These bubbles (almost no bubbles) were sublime, comte flavors, brioche, sesame interleaving with some dried fruits. Very well integrated, dense and savoury. Neat and still with structure despite its 16 years

Full & rich. Lots of yeasty, brioche aromas and flavors, backed by apples and a hint of spice on the finish. This is a *big* Champagne.
