Pannier Brut Vintage

Pannier Brut Vintage is made from 40% Chardonnay (for finesse), 40% Pinot Noir (for structure) and 20% Pinot Meunier (for fruit) grapes from the 2002 harvest. The vintage is regarded as being one of the very finest in recent years.

The grapes came from growers throughout the Champagne region. The particular style and quality of Pannier Brut Vintage is achieved by the skill of Pannier's winemakers and blenders in preserving the character of the year. Pannier Brut Vintage is aged in Pannier's cellars at Château-Thierry.

TASTING NOTE

Pannier Brut Vintage 2002 has a brilliant straw-gold colour and an abundance of tiny bubbles. The bouquet is at first restrained, then opens out into apricot and peach, vivacious and fresh. The richness of the palate is well-balanced by freshness and the ripe fruit character continues to a long finish.
