2000 Champagne Claude Cazals, Clos Cazals, Blanc de Blancs, Vieilles Vignes, Grand Cru, Oger, Extra BrutThe Clos Cazals Vielles Vignes is a wonderful expression of Oger. The wine was sourced from 50 year old Grand Cru vines, and was fermented mainly in steel to preserve purity of character and freshness. Some barrique ageing, and extended time on the lees, added layers of richness and a beautiful complexity. Despite its age, the wine retains a wonderful chalky energy.
