  Deep golden straw color. First whiffs were green apple, caramel and pie crust. As it warmed up and evolved in first 10 minutes the aromas turned more towards baking spices, but the fruit stayed towards the riper orchard. The mouthfeel was light but the wine tasted and looked older than I would’ve thought for 2005. I have a couple more bottles so can check the “only good bottles” logic. Still very good but a little shy of my expectations of the first time I drank this wine. Well recommended as it’s an extremely expensive bubble :-). Cheers

  Rich, vibrant and complex champagne. Palate was very deep. First time trying the VVF. Prefer the mid-90s Krug NV on the side.

  2005 Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Francaises is extremely gorgeous, perfect condition, full dimensions, powerful yet elegant, can’t imagine which Champagne would be better than this beautiful Blanc de Noirs.
  
  Aftertaste is super power to die for, it takes me to the universe and lost in space for a few minutes, dropping me walking onto the moon before bringing me back to enjoy the happiness impact again and again.
  
  I can easily vote it “ The Best Champagne “ I’ve ever had in my life.
  
  This 100% performance which makes 3 of us so happy so in love truly madly deeply do.

  Wines of the Gods (House of AC and JC): Light yellow with smoky brioche nose. Intense peach stones with bright rose grapefruit on the deep palate, which effervesces into a complex triad of vanilla, hazelnut and bergamot on the long finish. A very dry champagne , masterly crafted from those unusual seeded pinot vines, that are rare indeed and come with a justifiably steep price that slays almost all competitors in the bubbly pantheon.
