Description

1980 Champagne Veuve Clicquot, Vintage Reserve, BrutYellow colour with a nose showing ocean, saltiness and seaweed at first. With time in the glass, it shows tarragon and butterscotch, and at last, it offers honey and coffee. Intense palate with minerals, citrus and oxidized red apples that are starting to dry out. Nice finish showing sea buckthorn on the long lasting finish.

The wine has maintained a vibrant freshness given the time spent on lees

well balanced with a fine proportioned

tucked between the River Orcia and the hilltop Castelnuovo dell’Abate at 240 metres altitude

floral finish

so the glass has been shaped to enhance the expression of fruit on the mid-palate

and it’s silky in quality

The 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Epenots is showing beautifully from bottle offering up a deep bouquet of ripe berry fruit plums and cherries mingled with soil tones and hints of blood orange

No rush to drink

This comes from a single vineyard

vigorous black fruit flavours dance across the palate

Jasper gives particular attention to Burgundy’s more affordable regions: Chablis

The wine was sourced from 50-year-old Grand Cru vines
