The 1982 vintage features a design by French painter and sculptor Andre Masson, making the bottle itself a collector`s item. As for the champagne within, the 1982 vintage is known to be an outstanding year in the region, producing wines with exceptional balance and aging potential. The wine was crafted from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, which have been aged on the lees for several years before disgorgement. Expect a refined mousse, bright acidity, and notes of ripe citrus, green apple, toasted brioche, and a touch of minerality.
