  Purchased at the estate - that sort of warehouse on the west end of the village as I recall - and then carried back in a six bottle box when you could still carry wine onto an airplane. Last bottle. Baby sister if you will of the 1996. Toastiness emerging with a citrusy note still there. Very floral on the nose in an earthy way - can't quite describe it. Unusually extracted for a champage as is the 1996. I think the wine talking heads who talk about singular wines like Clos des Goisses, and perhaps even Krug's Clos des Mesnil need to look at Cuvee Nicole.

  1995 Pierre Monquit Cuvée Nicole Moncuit à Le Mesnil, Champagne, France
  Medium to dark yellow color. Scents of dark bread and wheat toast. Medium bodied with a sweet core of fruit, a light and forward nature, juicy and chewy and deliciously linear and symmetrical. Pure and refined with a somewhat short finish. A forward and easy drinking Champagne with small bubbles.
