The 2010 Brut Grand Vintage opens in the glass with a complex and compelling bouquet of ripe lemons, gingerbread, green apple, oyster shell and sourdough. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with a broad, vinous attack, excellent amplitude, a fine mousse and a long, expansive finish. Characterful and complete, I tasted this lovely Champagne after a series of characterless cooperative bottlings-the contrast couldn't have been more stark. This bottle was disgorged in 2016.

The 2010 Grand Vintage is in a gorgeous spot right now. Exotic white flowers, mint, passionfruit, peach and almond give the 2010 wonderful layers of dimension that open up effortlessly with time in the glass. I wouldn't push my luck on aging, but the 2010 is incredibly delicious and inviting now. Disgorged: January 21, 2016.

Vivid acidity frames this sleek Champagne. Nectarine, hazelnut and apple blossom notes ride the crisp, lacy mousse, while hints of saline and spice play on the finish. Disgorged January 2016. Drink now through 2027. 20 cases imported.
