Brut Spécial N/V

- 91 points -

The NV Brut Spéciale is quite a bit richer and more resonant in style than the Millenaire. Verticality and structure are at the center of a powerful Champagne that showcases the explosive side of Oger Chardonnay. There is a lot to like here. The current release is a blend of vintages 2009 and 2008. Disgorged June 2013. Dosage is 6 grams per liter.
