1996 St. Chamant Brut Cuvee de Chardonnay (Champagne, France)
The Chardonnay fruit from the Champagne (Grand Cru) village of Chouilly reaches a peak around 10-12 years in an excellent vintage such as 1996. I confess this 1996 was at its best in 2008 when I first tasted it; that same day the excellent 1976 was shared by the St. Chamant family followed by a magnum of 1959! No need to worry about the 1996. We do offer at half price while our stock lasts…what to expect…gorgeous mature Chardonnay, elegance and refinement: something Coco would drink at 60.
