Produced by CHANOINE FRERES, REIMS, from 50% CHARDONNAY,50% PINOT NOIR
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were separately vinified and blended in equal quantities. This champagne has spent at least seven year in bottle. 2002 was a great year, making rich and full bodied wines with elegant freshness. The winemaker has used a special liqueuring, aged in oak, for the final liqueur de dosage, which has helped amplify and enhance the flavours of this champagne.

Light, slightly floral smell. Reasonable taste and more elegant than the ES champagne, but I rather like the ES.
