Rare Champagne Vintage 2013, France

The base wines for this elegant vintage Champagne come from eight different Cru regions. The Champagne combines complex minerality with full-bodied, tropical aromas. In the glass, the Vintage 2013 appears light golden with yellow reflections and develops a fine, consistent perlage. The bouquet is seductive with notes of white flowers, tea, citrus and kiwi that transition into aromas of fruit, vanilla and marzipan. On the palate too, this Champagne reveals two sides: first, it is luxurious with notes of meringue, cream and marzipan, then it is firm with hints of citrus, kiwi and bitters that remain in play during the long finish.
