Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 96
Being released in magnum, the NV Brut Grand Siecle #23 is showing beautifully, mingling aromas of peach, pear, fresh pastry, citrus oil, buttered toast and white flowers. Full-bodied, fleshy and ample, it’s elegantly gourmand, with fabulous depth and a long, expansive finish. This is a blend based on 2006, complemented by 2004 and 2002. The volume and texture characteristic of the 2006 and 2002 vintages take the lead here, with the 2004 bringing supplemental aromatic complexity. One of the more demonstrative recent renditions of Grand Siecle, this is a fabulous choice for drinking over the next decade or two.
Anticipated maturity: 2020-2040
