The NV Brut Tradition Grand Cru possesses gorgeous warmth and openness in a radiant broad-shouldered style that is impossible to resist. Deep and textured through to the finish the Tradition Grand Cru combines richness and minerality with notable finesse. Spice and smoke nuances add complexity on the dazzling finish. The Brut Tradition Grand Cru spent 36 months on its lees prior to being disgorged in July 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2011-20118. --- Antonio Galloni
