2002 Salon cuvée S, Le Mesnil, Oenotheque
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay
Style: A mellow golden colour with a delicate yet lively nose. On the palate flavours of honeyed orange and candied citrus fruits excite. This has a beautiful mouth-feel which is simultaneously rich and restrained. The complexity of the aromas and flavours are almost precision-engineered and the flavours linger long. One of the very best champagnes ever made.
Perfect to drink between: 8℃ to 10℃
