This collection reflects a passion for wine that was shared by Champlain Charest, a pioneer of private wine collecting in Québec. Beginning around 2012, the consignor built the collection with care, sourcing almost exclusively from the SAQ to ensure provenance and quality. All bottles have been stored in a temperature- and humidity-controlled wine cellar, preserving them in optimal conditions.
2004 Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Francaises Blanc de Noirs Champagne from this lot has the following scores - CellarTracker 95 points. This is the tasting note for 2004 Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Francaises Blanc de Noirs Champagne from Robert Parker - One of the pinnacles of this Champagne vintage, the 2004 Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes Françaises—disgorged in 2012—has now stepped into its prime enjoyment window and unveils a bouquet of kaleidoscopic complexity, exuding aromas reminiscent of candied tangerine zest, praline and beeswax, intricately mingling with aromas of spices and a subtle smokiness. On the palate, it is full-bodied with immense concentration and plenitude, layered and enveloping, yet exquisitely balanced, displaying remarkable depth supported by a spine of racy acids and culminating in a long, resonant finish. For all its power and profundity, it retains an effortless sense of completeness..
