Vintage 1998

This year's harvest is the largest the region has ever seen. Every corner of the appellation has managed to achieve the maximum authorized harvest yield of 10,400 kilos of grapes per hectare.

Written Notes

A bright salmon pink with flecks of ochre. Aromas of powdered spices, dried figs and demerara sugar reveal the wine’s maturity, while secondary notes of bread and charred wood pair with those of orange and tea. Supple and elegant on the palate, this vintage gives way to a lively and lingering finish. Grapefruit, liquorice and bay leaves shine through.

Pinot noir (43%), chardonnay (35%) and meunier (22%) make up this rosé champagne. It was a particularly good year for pinot noir from the Aube district and chardonnay from Côte des Blancs, and by harvest time, the meunier grapes were fully concentrated thanks to the late onset of hot weather.

A 14-year maturation period has created a champagne with depth and character. Clarity and brightness in the glass hints at a nose full of dried fruits, spices and charred wood.From a year of excellent conditions for both pinot noir and chardonnay, the Grand Vintage Rosé 1998 has become a sought-after classic and a fine addition to any cellar.
