"There is no Champagne like this" , 96pts WA: 1996 De Venoge Louis XV

“ Champagne de Venoge's finest wines come along in carafe-shaped bottles that one might call kitsch, but I like them. They don't fit in my fridge door, but my fridge is big and the Champagne's good enough to deserve its own shelf and an upright position.” - Stephan Reinhardt
 
We are delighted to offer a unique and mature Champagne today - 1996 De Venoge Louis XV de Venoge Brut which is the top and prestige cuvee from Champagne house De Venoge which was established since 1837 by Mr. Henri-Marc de Venoge, origin of Switzerland. And they are the first Champagne house to release Blanc de Noir as well.

96pts Wine Advocate
The 1996 Louis d'Or Brut Millésimé is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir from Verzenay, Ambonnay, Mailly and Bouzy and 50% Chardonnay from Avize, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Chouilly. Fermented in stainless steel, with malolactic, and it was disgorged in March 2016 with a dosage of six grams per liter. This luxurious, golden colored vintage Champagne offers a beautifully complex, matured and vinous bouquet with lovely brioche, mushroom and yeasty flavors. The visual CO2 is gone quickly, but on the palate it gives this lean and steely yet enormously complex Millésime a tight structure and enormous length. It is tastes bone dry so that you can fully concentrate on the very complex and mineral character and the lovely austere finish. This is great a Champagne for purists, and the finish is enormous, reminding me of matured dry Rieslings from the good old Rheingau. Many of our readers may eventually ask for more roundness and charm here... But first: this is 1996. And second: this is Louis d'Or, and there is no Champagne like this.

Subject to final confirmation. ETA 1 week.
