DE VENOGE Champagne AOC Grand Cru “Louis XV” 1996

HK$3,270.00

On May 25th 1728, Louis XV issued a decree allowing wines of Champagne to be both shipped and commercialized in bottles, marking the birth of Champagne as we know it today. This Cuvée is only made from Grands Crus and in the best vintages.

“This has a fantastic and distinctive nose of grilled hazelnuts, roasted sesame, goat’s milk, quince, dried lemons and salted butter. Lots of vivacity, with creamy and nutty layers, balanced by citrusy sharpness. I like the salty, tangy and milky contrast. 50% pinot noir and 50% chardonnay. Disgorged 2018 (22 years on the lees). Keeps on getting better. Drink now or hold.” – James Suckling, 98 Points

Grape: 50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir

Champagne

Champagne, lying to the east of the Paris region, is one of the historic provinces of France.

Thanks to a sparkling wine to which the region has given its name, the word Champagne is known worldwide – even if many of those who know the drink do not know exactly where it comes from.

Champagne wine was first produced within its three main towns – Reims, its largest and home to the Montagne de Reims, famed for its Pinot Noir; Epernay, the capital of the Côte des Blancs, the area most renowned for its Chardonnay; and Ay, the town situated on the border of both the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs.
