A. Boatas - Millésime 2014 - Brut Nature

A unique and very limited blend of vintage 2014 wines, from selected grapes chosen in the best places of Avize (the heart of our terroir) picked up in old vineyards (more than 50 years). Contrary to our Charles Legendre, malolactic fermentation is 100% done. Wine has been aged several months in oak barrels and then bottled in 2015. Final long ageing in bottle on second fermentation lees. The result is a rich, complex and expressive champagne.

Tasting:
