R. Renaudin 1990 " Reserve Speciale" Brut Mathusalem [1/6000]
It is mindboggling to think how patiently Renaudin has held onto this stock of huge bottles from a landmark vintage, disgorging them to order, as they did for us. Suffice it to say that the wine turned heads when we poured it at our inaugural champagne tastings in 2017, not just because of its outsized proportions but on account of its perfect evolution and preternatural freshness.
