Gaston Chiquet Magnum Tradition Brut Champagne

1.5 Liters Premier Cru.  40% Pinot Meunier, 35% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir. 80% 2014, 20% 2013. Aromas of ripe pear, peach and honey, with a subtle strawberry nuance in the background. The palate offers very good intensity, with fresh orchard fruit and spice cake flavors picking up weight with air. Closes on a vibrant, stony note, with very good clarity and length. Importer Notes

This is one of the finest grower-estates in the Grande Vallée de la Marne. Chiquet’s wines combine a generous depth of fruit with a pronounced character of place — if you want to know what the wines of the Grande Vallée should feel like, these are an excellent introduction.” – Peter Liem, Champagneguide.net
