Champagne
France
1 Jan 2012
2012 has gone down as a great vintage in Champagne so we don't think this bottle from top Champagne house Mumm is likely to hang around for long, especially at this price. It's a blend of the three main champagne grapes, pinot noir, meunier and chardonnay, to produce a rich, well-balanced wine that would be great with shellfish especially.
On the palate there's a mixture of pear and peach with orange blossom and then richer notes of brioche, orange peel and hazelnuts. Very very long finish.
