Light peach skin color. Spiced apple and poached pear scents are deep and gently smoky, with a light brioche quality adding richness. Fleshy pit fruit flavors project a dry, firm personality, picking up subtle cinnamon and honeysuckle nuances with air. Offers a nice blend of ripeness and energy, and finishes with spicy bite and good persistence. |

| Bright, light gold. Sexy pear and grilled nuts on the nose, complemented by yellow rose, butter and toasted marshmallow. Round and invitingly lush, offering sweet orchard and pit fruit flavors, with gentle minerality adding lift. The broad finish features impressively concentrated peach and floral honey flavors. This could stand up to strongly spiced foods. | |

| BLANC DE BLANCS GRAND CRU LES AVENTURES |
: 92 POINTS |
Light yellow with a steady bead. Deep, toasty aromas of smoky poached pear and floral honey, lifted by sexy baking spices. Dense and chewy but surprisingly energetic, with leesy pear and yellow plum flavors. Finishes with gentle grip and excellent persistence. This is drinking extremely well right now. This bottling is a blend of 1990, 1995 and 1996 wines from a single site in the grand cru Chouilly. |
