Intense gold in the glass. The nose suggests fresh pear and buttery pie crust, with touches of sautéed apples. Intense spicy notes on the tongue, with rich, complex yet balanced and lingering flavors. Disgorged March 2007.
Andre Beaufort Champagne, Ambonnay
11.10.2009
To say Beaufort Champagne is natural is a gross simplification. Jacques
makes his own compost from plant and animal sources. He avoids the use
of copper and sulfur in the vineyard, as he believes they upset the
natural balance of flora and fauna in the fields, using instead his own
homeopathic teas and essential oils. Wines are fermented on natural
yeasts, and each unique bottle is aged on its fine lees for as long as
possible before disgorgement.

“The 1995 Brut Millésime Grand Cru is one of the more complete and ready
to drink wines in this flight. It doesn’t have the elegance of the 2000
or the power of the 1996, but it makes up for that with its impeccable
balance. The 1995 is one of the smaller-scaled versions of this wine,
but it is remarkably complete all the same. Roasted nuts, smoke, candied
fruits and spices are all to be found, yet the advanced aromas and
flavors are balanced by a pretty sense of minerality that insures the
wine will continue to drink well for at least another few years.” — The
Wine Advocate
