Premier Cru Champagne 2016 N° 44 Lustrous • Fortuitous • Unrivaled
Experience N° 44 with Jean-Charles Boisset
Tasting Notes
A deep, golden yellow color in the bottle with a fine, sparkling perlage. A truly smooth and well-balanced Champagne, the nose is fresh and warm that reveals aromas of white fruits followed with subtle citrus notes. Silky texture with a lively edge, this wine shows its maturity with notes of brioche but plenty of intense freshness leaving a crisp, long-lasting finish.
Le Vin du Diable
The Story
Prior to 1844 and the discovery of the wire cage used to keep the cork in place, Champagne was seen as the work of the devil himself -- nicknamed le vin du diable, or the "devils wine."

2016 N° 44
This mature Champagne has a baked cookie aroma with ripe apple and spice flavors, balanced acidity and rich fruit flavors. It is a textured wine with a delicious juicy aftertaste. — Roger Voss
