Description
Antonio Galloni: The 1999 Brut Grand Cru is 70% Pinot Noir and 30%
Chardonnay from old vines in Ambonnay that spent a whopping 96
months on its lees. The wine exudes notable complexity in its dried
apricots, peaches, baking spices, roasted nuts, ash, freshly baked
cinnamon rolls and sweet toasted oak. This is a soft, creamy style
of Champagne backed up with impressive structure. The oak notes are
rather prominent at first, but then recede somewhat with air.
Readers who prefer wines with less overt oak influence will
probably enjoy some of the other releases more. This bottle was
disgorged in July, 2008.
