Maturity and persistence Delicately fruity and elegant. A hint of apricot followed by buttered brioche. Marvellous balance of the low dosage and the full bodiness of this Champagne. (12 x 75 cl)
The brand name was registered in 1864. Typically, Grand Vin des Princes is a very special blend of Blanc de Blancs from grands crus on the Côte des Blancs. This cuvée was created for the Princes of Orange but was made available to the general public in 1858, the idea being to win clients from amongst the great families of Europe. Since 1961 it has been housed in a special bottle shaped like a decanter, as a reminder of the way it used to be served in the 19th century. Grand Vin des Princes is still served at royal banquets at the court of Emperor Akihito of Japan for example. Its marvellous structure and concentrated aromas make it a superb match for lobster, monkfish or even caviar. For the record, in 1895 De Venoge registered the brands "Cuvée des Princes", "Cuvée Princière", "Champagne des Princes", "Réserve des Princes" and also "Champagne Rouge des Princes" and "Tisane des Princes", a very sweet champagne. (6 x 75 cl)
A remarkable fine mousse rises against a background of intense gold. The nose is full of diverse and flattering aromas. On the palate dominant notes of apricots and citrus fruits give way to spicy aromas of pepper and gingerbread, and of butter, cream and tobacco. The subtlety of the mousse and the delicate freshness on the palate combine with the full-bodied structure of the wine. The complete impression is one of a generous and balanced champagne (12 x 37.5 cl)
