A distinctive white, with lemon meringue pie and tangerine notes, plus touches of kumquat and crunchy star fruit. Herbal and floral accents of lemon blossoms and lemongrass, plus candied citrus peel and mouthwatering acidity, linger on the finish. Drink now through 2038.

Disgorged after 16 years tirage, given a lowish dosage (6 or 7 g/l) and then aged a further eight years in order to encourage Lécaillon’s beloved salinity, plus the caramel or buttery notes resulting from the Maillard reaction. From magnum. Very exciting yet rich with a light, lively mousse. Bursting with life yet a little softer than the white Vinothèque 1995 in magnum served after it. Long and reverberant.

Luxurious and rich yet vibrant, this bubbly offers sumptuous flavors of strawberry and apple that are highlighted by brioche and cinnamon as this lingers on the detailed finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now.

A well-tailored Champagne, with density, length and a firm spine of vivid acidity. Though this is firmly structured, there’s a sense of finesse. The crisp, delicate mousse is a swathe of lacy texture enmeshing the fine frame as this carries flavors of black currant, lemon curd, chalky mineral and biscuit. The finish is long and fragrant, echoing fruit, toast, mineral and spices. Harmonious and enjoyable today, but this will cellar nicely -- potentially longer than some of its peers from the vintage Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2048.
