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.

Notes from the Producer: The specificity and the quality of our champagne begins from a qualitative approach in the vinyards. It is the terroir that expresses the specificity and the particularity by combining different elements like climate, exposition, geographical localisation and human factors. The vineyard is managed by combining the qualitative work of the soil and permanent grassing. We apply the plant protection products for the protection of the vines at low dose, only if it is necessary with a reasoned approach and sustainable approach. Golden and bright robe accompanied by floral, nutty and smoked aromas. The elegant and fine bubbles mark this vintage on the beauty side. There is a lively attack on the palate, with a certain complexity of citrus flavors, oak, brioche and chestnut followed by freshness and a long finish.
