Vilmart Champagne "Grand Cellier" M.V. MAGNUM

70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir. Based wine aged in oak, giving the wine richness, texture and delicious "secondary" flavors a la Krug. Smell and taste brioche, jasmine, elderflower, apple butter, poached pears, toasty biscuits. Powerful yet elegant mouth feel. This special Champagne compares favorably to most of its 3-figure-price brethren.
