Notes: Vineyards are 100% Grand Cru and Premier Cru. This wine is a blend of 30 still base wines from at least 2 different vintages. It is aged for 2 years on its lees and at least 3 years in the deep cellars of Épernay. UK stock receives an additional 6 months post-disgorgement. On the nose is dominated by green apple and brioche. On the palate there is a certain nuttiness and a hint of honey supporting the freshness of the acidity. This champagne was Sir Winston Churchill’s favourite, who famously insisted: “In defeat I need it, in victory I deserve it.”
