Champagne André Beaufort, Ambonnay, Grand Cru 2009: A Vintage of Distinction 🥂 The 2009 André Beaufort Ambonnay Grand Cru embodies the essence of its terroir and vintage. Coming from best plots, this vintage reflects a warm yet balanced growing season, resulting in both richness and structure. Overall, the warm temperatures gave exceptional ripeness while maintaining acidity, creating a cuvée with complexity and aging potential. Pinot Noir contributes with depth, power, and minerality. On the palate, it offers ripe stone fruits, baked apple, and honeyed brioche, with a fine chalky minerality. A creamy mousse and well-integrated acidity add vibrancy and length, while subtle oxidative notes from tertiary evolution after degorgement enhance its depth. #wine #champagne #winelover #winetasting #mercuriwineclub #wineschool #winescience #france #frenchwines #ambonnay #andrebeaufort
