Bought in October 2010 in Epernay. Cork mid straight (2 years?). A wonderful bottle of Grande Reserve! Much better than my recent bottles actually and was even better than a Charles Heidsieck Vintage 1995 earlier that same evening. The Pinot Noir is immediately striking with a nice tone of red apple and cinnamon cake (="äbblekauga" på skånska). Very good concentration, balanced, excellent mousse and length.

I was unimpressed by this champagne. I chose it over the cheaper Pol Roger which I first tried a few weeks ago. It was perfectly adequate but nothing was special about it.

A very good champagne, which grew after 30 min. Quite fruity and a small hint of minerals.
