The year consisted of a cold, dry winter and spring frosts which affected a considerable part of the vineyard. Flowering in June took place in difficult, stormy conditions. The harvest began on 18 September.

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
Clear, golden yellow colour. Penetrating nose, smoothly blended like a polished pebble. Sensations flow and mingle - toasted, spicy - a muted, restrained experience, expressing a subtle reserve. On the palate: long, very elegant, lively and racy. Lovely, melting milky caramel attack flowing into warm notes of woodsmoke and peppered vanilla, with lovely hints of undergrowth.

When to drink: 2017 to 2022
1971 Vintage
Tasted: Feb 2018
Yellow gold, with a hint of copper in the color, the wine maintained some, effervescence. Apples, honeysuckle, brioche, sherry and cashew nuts, silky, soft, caressing textures, with sweet, apple and citrus fruits with just a dab of honey in the finish. It was quite fun to a bottle of Dom Perignon this old. 95 Points

Current condition: Likely past it
The 1971 vintage for Champagne was reasonably good.
