Joining an exquisite collection of rare and unique champagnes, Grand Vintage 2012 evokes the transition from spring to summer, displaying a certain gentleness accompanied by freshness and balance. TASTING NOTES ON THE EYES: Bright pale yellow, with green reflections and a fine, persistent bead. ON THE NOSE: Hints of fresh white flowers evolve toward notes of pastry, punctuated with nuances of fresh walnut, hazelnut & rusk. Notes of just-ripe fruits, aromas of pear, white peach & nectarine. ON THE PALATE: The initial sweetness gives way to a more acidic structure which extends to create a final note of tanginess with a hint of iodine underscored by a nuance of pink grapefruit.
