Notes:

The NV (2009) Brut Nature Les Beguines is pure seduction. At once fabulously rich yet understated, the 2009 impresses for its overall balance and finesse. Sweet yellow stone fruits of all sorts flow effortlessly from the glass. Hints of tar, smoke, incense and hazelnuts are layered into the polished finish. This is a Champagne of exceptional elegance and refinement. Disgorged October 2011. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2019. Wine Advocate 95
