This champagne is made from grapes from one vineyard in Avise, where the vine is aged 65 years: “\u003cspan\u003ethe Clos du Grand Père\u003c\/span\u003e”. The Cuvée has a light golden colour with subtle green glints and the bubbles are fine and light. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(AG=95) The NV Brut Cuvee St. Denis emerges from a single parcel of old vines in Avize. A rich, vinous Champagne with gorgeous savory and mineral overtones, the Cuvee St. Denis boasts fabulous resonance and texture. Layers of fruit build to a vivid, breathtaking finish as this voluptuous Champagne shows off its considerable personality. This is the purest essence of old-vine Avize Chardonnay. Simply put, I can't recommend the Cuvee St. Denis highly enough. Readers who can find it should not hesitate, as it is a real head-turner. The current release is 60% 2009 and 40% 2008. Disgorged June 2014. Dosage is 7 grams per liter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(RP=94) Disgorged in June 2017 with seven grams per liter and derived from a parcel of old Chardonnay vines in Avize, the latest rendition of Varnier-Fanniere's NV Brut Grand Cru Cuvee St-Denis opens in the glass with notions of waxy lemon rind, confit citrus, fresh peach, white flowers and warm biscuits. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad and concentrated, with chewy extract, a tight-knit core and brisk acids, revealing a youthfully frothy mousse and a long, chalky finish. This has a very promising future ahead of it. (WS=92) Atypical yet seductive. Extremely fragrant, evoking red berry, tropical fruit and vanilla aromas and flavors, all matched to a firm structure and dense texture. Powerful yet graceful with a terrific finish. Drink now through 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Wine House Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33089110638646,"sku":"FRXXXXEFV1C","price":233.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0126\/7007\/4944\/products\/VarnierFanniereJeanFanniereGrandCru_1fe32bba-a07b-46f2-91ec-59ce1487b52e.png?v=1613029701","url":"https:\/\/the-wine-house-limited.myshopify.com\/products\/varnier-fanniere-cuvee-st-denis-grand-cru-nv-750ml-x-6","provider":"The Wine House Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
