Alfred Gratien 2004 Brut Millésimé (Champagne)

Country: France / Brut Millésimé
Variety: Champagne Blend Champagne
Winery: Alfred Gratien / Champagne

From a good vintage, this wine, dominated by Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, is textured, mineral-driven and full of nervous energy. It is stylish, hinting at toast as well as floral citrus. The wine is now mature, although it will age at least until 2024, developing a more toasty character as it goes.
