Pommery Vintage Grand Cru Royal | 2008

Sourced from 100% Grand Cru vineyards, this equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is one of Champagne's greatest values. Aged on its lees for more than five years, the power of the vintage reveals itself with the juiciest apple and cherry, and slight signs of maturity appear with perks of warm biscuit and glazed croissant. On the palate the wine is generous, moving in every which way, with still plenty of pep on the finish. I dare you to find a better prime vintage bubbly for under $100. ~Allegra A
