Champagne "Vinothèque", Telmont, Épernay, FR, 1996

Vinothèque 1996 gathers all the characteristics of an exceptional old vintage Champagne. Thanks to ideal climatic conditions with warm days, cool nights and a long lasting summer, the quality was impressive. The ideal balance between sweetness and acidity reveal ripe mango and nuts on the nose, and on the palate, aromas of raspberry compote.

Vinothèque 1996 follows Champagne’s usual vinification process in stainless steel vats and with no malolactic fermentation. Riddling was made by hand. This champagne was disgorged in 2021, following a 25-year aging period in underground cellars.

The dosage of this champagne is 7.6 grams/litre.
