Tasting note
Pierre Girardin was fortunate enough to purchase 3 ouvrees of Bâtard-Montrachet in late 2017, a plot with 85 year old vines. Rich yellow and very weighty. Spectacular! This is the vineyard that encouraged Pierre to go higher in canopy. A fabulous mix of complex yellow fruit, a little bit of orange blossom, but a greener thread too, showing that this has not gone through too far in ripeness. Very complete and lasts extremely well in the mouth. Tasted Oct 2020 by Jasper Morris MW.

Tasting note
The 2002 Celebris Vintage Extra Brut displays a noble, clear, fresh and subtle bouquet with white fruit and brioche flavors intertwined with mineral aromas. Silky textured and highly elegant, this full-bodied yet delicate blend of 48% Pinot Noir and 52% Chardonnay is clear and straight on the palate, revealing a ripe and intense, yet refined fruit. It has a persistent and complex, firmly structured, stimulatingly pure and salty finish. Great finesse and ethereal lightness here, with great purity and mineral tension. It also has the intensity of perfect fruit in the long and persistent finish. A great Champagne for the next ten and probably many more years.

The 2018 Les Chalasses Vieilles Vignes is even sharper than the Grandes Teppes, with only 13% alcohol but with depth and concentration, incredible freshness and an austere palate that is akin to licking a rock, beautiful texture. This comes from Chardonnay planted in 1902 on gray marl soils. It was bottled in July 2022.

Buttery, creamy, very soft and smooth. Ripe, complete and generous and perhaps quite high in alcohol? Even so, there is so much going on here. Compelling. Richard Hemming MW

Tasting note
Glass-staining violet. Displays expansive, highly perfumed aromas of black raspberry and boysenberry, with exotic spice, violet oil, smoky mineral and incense notes building in the glass. Densely packed yet almost shockingly energetic on the palate, offering penetrating black and blue fruit liqueur, floral pastille, allspice and olive paste flavors with a hint of cracked pepper. The floral note carries emphatically through a wonderfully long, sharply detailed finish that's framed by youthfully gripping, polished tannins.
