in its distinctive carafe-shaped bottle, this champagne commemorates the french king who first said that champagne had to be bottled (so the bubbles would not disappear). it is dominated by chardonnay, giving a chalky, mineral texture to this ripe wine. while the fruit is still deliciously fresh, the wine is just beginning to add toast flavors to its repertoire. drink now, or better from 2017.
