(NV Gaston Chiquet Tradition Brut) ($52.00) Now 80% ’07 and 20% ’06, disgorged 8/10, 35%CH/45%PM/20%PN, from Hautvillers, Dizy and Mareuil. Nothing new to say except to observe how well this manages the base ’07 – and to note it’s a year older than most growers’ NVs. It is, as always, polished, perfect down-the-middle Champagne; articulate and focused and charming.
