Tasting notes
Aromas of iodine, crisp orchard fruits, clear honey, confit citrus and fresh pastry introduce the 1998 Blanc de Blancs, a medium to full-bodied, fully-mature wine that's drinking beautifully today, revealing a layered mid-palate, excellent depth at the core, racy acids and a long, precise finish. Readers who have bottles in their cellars should reap the rewards of bottle age, as this 1998 is perfect for current consumption.

Light gold. Bright, tangy citrus aromas, with touches of jasmine, acacia, marzipan and oyster shell. Fat and creamy in the mouth, showing precise pear and apple flavors along with more exotic hints of mango and fresh pineapple. This has very good concentration and focus, finishing on a lively note of lemon-lime, with the slightest hints of smoke and truffle.
