Max’s Notes
What strikes me most about L’Âge d’Or is how much presence it has without ever becoming heavy.
Pinot Noir gives it a generous, vinous depth, with fruit and spice coming through clearly. Yet the acidity remains taut and refreshing, keeping all that power beautifully in balance.
For me, this is a Champagne that makes an impression through intensity and precision, rather than sheer weight.
L’Âge d’Or comes from Bouzy in the Montagne de Reims. The vines are around 40 years old and grow in south-facing Grand Cru vineyards on clay and limestone over Campanian chalk. The grapes are picked by hand.
