Champagne Grand cru Brut Terres de Noël 2009
The 2009 Brut Sélection Terres de Noël Vieilles Vignes is laced with almonds, honey, dried flowers and mint. This is another soft, caressing wine with good balance but plenty of quirks. Readers will have to be a bit forgiving with the Terres de Noël, as it is less polished than the house's best wines. The 2009 to be enjoyed young. This bottle was disgorged in June 2013. Dosage was 6 grams/liter.
