2006 Grand Vintage Dom Perignon (France)
The wines opulence – contained and succulent, round at heart – reveals itself in the mouth. The envelope slides and stretches, and the wine becomes more complex and edgy, silkier than it is creamy. The whole eventually melts into an exquisite bitterness tinged with the briny taste of the sea.

2008 Grand Vintage Moët & Chandon Imperial (France)
Initial floral notes of linden, honeysuckle and acacia with citrus nuances evocative of bergamot and mandarin orange zest along with a dash of anise and green tomato. Following are notes
of just-ripe stone fruits—white peach, nectarine and Mirabelle plums. The bouquet is completed
by gentle scents of pastry, brioche, frangipane, almonds and vanilla with a slight hint of white pepper.
This vintage is vivacious and lively. The underlying acidity orients the linear, focused palate;
the tautness is enveloped and channeled by the texture of succulent notes of white fruits which
envelop and channel the freshness toward a vibrant, mouth-watering finish with a lingering note
of citrus fruit.

vine peach and white fruit notes. A perfect balance between freshness and delicacy with fruity
flavours very present on the finish.
