  • 🥂Henriot Rose Noir
    (Disgorged in the late 1970s, 100% Pinot Noir)
    Golden yellow colour with a slow stream of bubbles rising in the glass. Maturity on the nose showing honey and some dried fruit at first before opening up with tangerine and some lovely milk chocolate and creamy notes in a delicious way. Still very fresh on the palate with a smoothing acidity combined with butterscotch notes and some cream before the lengthy finish showing orange zesty bitterness in a very positive and pleasant way. This was a perfectly stored bottle and a wonderful example of a mature Blanc de Noirs, just excellent!
    (Still showing lots of freshness with 45+ years of post disgorgement)

  • (Disgorged in the mid-90s)
    So delicious with a mature non-vintage champagne like this showing an explosion of notes like roasted coffee, hazelnuts and flint on the intense nose combined with a creamy and citrus driven palate.

  • Bottle from the 70s. Beautiful gold with a hint of red. Decadent sweet nose displaying apricot, orange marmalade, raspberry candy, honey, smoke, crème brulee and mineral. Fully integrated palate, sweet concentrated yellow fruit, still showing generous mousse, mouth puckering acidity, strong mineral and a long sweet yellow fruit and honey driven finish. This is a relatively straightforward champagne that has been well stored. The complexity is coming from a long term ideal cellaring. A great lesson!

  • (Bottle from 70s.)
    Golden yellow colour with a cupper shimmer and extremely tiny bubbles. Very good shape for such an old bottle!
    Very mature on the nose showing chocolate in a powerful and intensive style. Cognac and a very nice long finish.

    This bottle really took everyone by surprise with it's freshness combined with mature notes. A great bottle showing how good champagne matures, even when it comes to standard non-vintage ones!
