Had extreme difficulty finding any info about this wine. Then I found a review from Wine Spectator from 1996 saying this was very mature and would soon be over the hill. Not a good sign. That's why I love Wine Spectator. They are so often wrong, there's still excitement about opening a bottle they tried. This bottle was not a great Champagne. But it was a very nice Champagne, and still going strong. Still had decent carbonation. Mature, but not over the hill by any means. No notes of sherry or oxidation. Not perfectly balanced, but a lot going on, and an extremely pleasant bottle.

A fresh and elegant champagne with tones of yellow apples and citrus fruit. Quite shy wine but pleasant.

Still young and vibrant. Solid bottle.
