The Grand Vin des Princes 2014 from Maison De Venoge is a Blanc de Blancs champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in Premiers and Grands Crus vineyards in Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger, Trépail, and Vertus.
This cuvée was created for the Princes of Orange and was not marketed to the general public until 1864.
Since 1961, Le Grand Vin des Princes has been housed in a special carafe-shaped bottle, reminiscent of the habits of the European aristocracy, who used to decant champagne into crystal flasks.
The Grand Vin des Princes is still served at princely tables, such as at the court of Emperor Akihito of Japan.
This cuvée has a brilliant golden color.
The nose reveals superb aromas of brioche and stewed fruit.
On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied with a structure and elegance worthy of great wines.
