Deep gold in the glass. A perfect specimen that's begging to be enjoyed today. Ripe red fruits and caramelized pie crust show on the aromatic nose. A touch of salt introduces a ripe middle of treacle and fig, with lots of poached white fruits and citrus energy. Disgorged December 2007.
“The 1996 Brut Millésime Polisy is fully mature and ready to drink.
Candied apricots and peaches, roasted nuts and smoke are just some of
the aromas and flavors that emerge from this generous, full-bodied
Champagne.” — The Wine Advocate
Andre Beaufort Champagne, Ambonnay

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.
