Champagne Grand Siècle Grande Cuvée No. 24
Tasted from magnum, the NV Champagne Grand Siècle Iteration No. 24 pours a medium yellow hue and has a more brothy, oceanic character, driven by the blend of 2007, 2006, and 2004. It offers notes of grapefruit that almost smell like hops, along with custard, crème brûlée, and confit citrus. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with a ripe yet not heavy feel, showing apricot, almond, and a long, rich texture that leans more into the 2007 vintage. The nose also carries hints of ginger and honey, with mocha and coffee hiding underneath. The blend includes 25% Pinot Noir, with 60% sourced from the 2007 vintage. Drink 2025-2045.
