| Katherine's Description: |
One of my very favorite non-vintage Champagnes, this Pinot-dominated blend with a muscular structure and a delicate attack dances on the palate with complex, subtle notes of quince, tart apple, and green pear accompanied by toasty hazelnut informing you of Mme. Lily Bollinger's quote: "I drink my champagne when I am happy and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I am alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it when I'm not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it—unless I'm thirsty." |

Wine Spectator
A beautiful Champagne. Complex and elegant, evoking ginger, jasmine, citrus and honey aromas and flavors, accented by a biscuit and grain component coming as much from barrel fermentation as yeast aging. Very firmly structured and long. Enjoy with Asian foods or Parmesan cheese. Drink now through 2006. 9,500 cases imported.

Wine Enthusiast
The Bollinger style is always rich, food friendly and impressive. This wine is all of those things, with power and intensity of flavor along with ripe fruit, a layer of toastiness and a dry aftertaste. This is a style of wine that can take even more bottle aging. Imported by Paterno Wines International.
