The 2004 Celebris Vintage Extra-Brut blends 55% Chardonnay from Chouilly, Cramant and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger with 45% Pinot Noir from Aÿ, Bouzy and Verzy. Intensely golden-yellow in color, the reductive yet dense and immensely aromatic bouquet reveals herbal/floral and mineral rather than fruity aromas. There are flavors from ancient, very small pear varieties from the empty glass. Full-bodied, fresh and elegant, this is a round and well-structured 2004 whose finish is still a bit dryish. Minty flavors are displayed in the fresh and evolved but also (still) discreet aftertaste. Tasted in August 2018 from lot L6125111 with a dosage of five grams per liter.
This rich Champagne is soft and creamy, with orange zest, ground anise and light, tangy acidity enlivening the glazed apricot and pastry crust flavors. Offers a bright, expressive finish.
