(Vilmart & Cie "Cuvée Grand Cellier d’Or" Brut) ($97.00) Available later this year, so we may have a gap between vintages here. It’s 80PN/20CH as always. Though we have to wait, it seems quite ready. Has all the deep reverb of ’06, and a wonderful apple-butter and clove-like spicy “sweetness;” completely open and sanguine despite 2/11 disgorgement. A chubby happy baby. Hints of espresso, cocoa bean and sandalwood.
