Scores

The 2005 Brut Millésime de Collection? Vieilles Vignes de Chardonnay (Magnum) is intriguing, but it also comes across as quite powerful and a bit chunky next to so many wines in this lineup. There is plenty of brightness to the Chardonnay fruit, along with expressive aromatic top notes that provide lift, but at the same time slightly angular contours remain. Overall, though, this is a solid effort for the vintage. Fruit sources are 57% Cramant, 30% Chouilly and 13% Cuis. Dosage is 5 grams/liter. Disgorged: October 2014. Score: 92 Points Antonio Galloni

Tasting Notes

Pale gold in colour with delicate floral notes and lemon zest on the nose. Delicately honeyed fruits with a nutty background and lifted citrus notes on the palate, with layered flavours and underlying stony minerality. A very refined palate with poise, structure and depth ? the excellent mousse and crisp acidity add to the texture - with incredible length on the finish.
