Description

A Champagne Blanc de Blancs wine that has only been sampled by a couple of critics, but they scored it highly. This is among the highest-priced Champagne Blanc de Blancs wine.

Introducing a limited release Champagne to toast 175 years of winemaking endeavours. We have reignited our love affair with France, a special place for Penfolds, where winemaker Max Schubert was inspired to create Grange. Partnered with Thienot, a respected player in the world of Champagne, Penfolds instigated hands on involvement throughout the tirage storage to create an extraordinary 2012 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru. A Champagne worthy of celebrating our past, present and future.

Review

Light greenish-yellow, silver reflections, fine, well-persistent mousse. Minerality, distinct aromas, very enticing, fresh apple notes and a hint of citrus zest. On the palate powerful, full-bodied and extractive, elegant acidity, recurring mineral tones, very complex and long-lasting, very classy, and good aging potential.
