Vincent Couche Sensation Extra Brut Champagne 2002

This is a cuvee that spent just shy of 20 years on its lees and is made up of 50/50 Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. (This was farmed organically and it is in later years that Vincent converted over to Biodynamics.) The nose opens with a light suggestion of buttercream, lemon oil, golden apple and a just there note of baking spices. The palate is moderate in weight and gorgeously balanced by notes of cream, lemon oil, and pear galette. - D&M TASTING NOTES

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“From a great Champagne vintage, this wine is impressively mature. Its ripe fruits have now softened into a yeasty and spice character. The acidity of this dry wine shows strongly, giving concentration and intensity. This is a fine wine ready to drink.” - 94 PTS, WINE ENTHUSIAST (12/2023)
