  Champagnemiddag med FVL (Restaurang Hantverket): (From magnum bottle in original disgorgement in the fall of 1999, 100% Chardonnay from Chouilly, dosage 13 gr/l)
  Lovely golden yellow colour with a wonderful maturing nose combined with very youthful notes of flowers and citrus as well. Palate is very intense with the positive power of the 1996 vintage, and with a creamy acidic and still youthful taste. Mostly fresh without oxidative notes and a lovely long lime peel bitternes in the finish.
  This was a wonderful cuvée by Legras & Haas with lots of life left. Best 2011-2031.
  (As a sidenote we opened three magnum bottles and two of them where wonderful, but the third one was severly cork damaged and undrinkable.)
