Our New Year’s Day tipple. Welcome to 2021. This Coeur du Cuvée had Toasty Lemon and freshly baked bread. An interesting changing palate with lemon/grapefruit/citrus dominating. Amazingly fresh for a 14 year old Champagne. 80% Chardonnay; 20% Pinot Noir. My first bottle of this a few years ago was more impressive. Expected a little more complexity.

The Vilmart is smashing. So vibrant and fresh on the nose, so opulent and alluring on the palate. I'm not usually huge on Champagne, but that might be just because I don't get to drink Vilmart more often.

Pippin apple crisp. Gains richness from the riper vintage. Nicely balanced. Would have liked a bit more verve.
