Note di degustazione
Light, green-tinged yellow. Aromas of melon, fresh fig, honey and pear skin, along with a citrussy overtone. Dense and broad but lively too, boasting very good concentration to its orange, honeydew and poached pear flavors. Energetic, fruity and very long on the finish, featuring a bright, chalky quality and a hint of sweet butter. Disgorged in January, 2014.

The 2006 Brut Spécial Club is deep, powerful and intense. Dried pear, spice, licorice, honey, roasted nuts and caramel emerge as the wine opens up in glass. A big, powerful Champagne, the 2006 is built on a core of serious depth, with tropical overtones that grace the broad finish. Even with all of its obvious muscle, the flavors are a bit forward. I would prefer to drink the 2006 over the near and medium-term. The Spécial Club is made mostly from parcels in Cramant, although 35% of the fruit is from Chouilly and Cuis. Disgorged January 2014. Dosage is 5 grams per liter.
The 2006 Special Club opens irritatingly with predominating lactose flavors which do not fade away but are accompanied by sweetish yeasty flavors. The wine is rich, intense and elegant on the palate but much less fruity than the regular vintage Champagnes. It is firm, tightly woven and long but the lactose flavors don't go away.
