Pale gold color with very appealing aromas of apple, orange zest, hazelnut complicated by a chalky minerality. On the palate, the mousse is delicate and creamy, but the wine itself leans toward medium-full bodied. It is vibrant and balanced with apple, orange zest, hazelnut, and hints of honey and quince flavors with some time in the glass. There is a lingering finish with an appealing chalky minerality. Blend of composed of 70% Chouilly Grand Cru Chardonnay, with the balance being a combination of Tauxieres and Epernay Pinot Noir. 2004 Brut Prestige. Wonderful value Vintage Champagne from a highly regarded vintage

This is quintessential 2004- a vintage that I am sure will grow in reputation just like 1988. Composed of 70% Chouilly Chardonnay and the rest Tauxieres and Epernay Pinot, this wine is 100% estate. This has precision and cut that put it up with the best of Blanc de Blancs. It also has creamy lees character and good mouth feel... What a bottle!
