Grand Vintage features a 66.7/33.8% blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the East Coast, Derwent Valley, Coal River Valley, and Pipers River. Aged on tirage for seven years with a dosage of 2.6 g/L, it presents a medium straw color with a fine bead and energetic mousse. The nose reveals juicy white peach, green apple, pithy grapefruit, pear, soft spice, grilled nuts, fresh brioche, dried honey, orange blossom, and stone. The palate has subtle umami notes, sea spray, honeycomb, and fresh pastries, with a long finish marked by tight acidity, impressive tension, and biscuity tones.
