The NV Brut Prélude Grands Crus has a very clear, complex and fresh yet intense bouquet, currently with more Pinot and walnut/macadamia flavors rather than Chardonnay flavors. Almond biscuits and fine brioche aromas come through only on the second nose. Bottled in 2012, this should be based on the 2011 vintage. It is a full-bodied, fine and elegant but also very complex and persistent Prélude that was sourced in only grand cru vineyards. Disgorged in October 2016 (dosage: nine grams per liter), tasted in November 2017.

A toasty Champagne, with buoyant acidity defining the creamy palate of smoky grilled nut, blackberry pâte de fruit, brioche, lemon curd and pastry cream. A rich wine, lively and harmonious throughout. Disgorged November 2014. Drink now through 2020. 150 cases imported.
