Lot #178. Salon Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut 1983

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 98 AG.
"Easily one of the very best Champagnes I have ever tasted, the 1983 has it all. Ageless and timeless, the 1983 is pure magic in the glass. Wonderfully complex, toasty aromatics meld into expressive fruit in a Champagne that is both mature and youthful, much like the great white Burgundies of the same era. I only wish every Vinous reader could experience the sheer visceral thrill of the 1983, a life-affirming, utterly magical wine that leaves the room in awe." Vinous, May 2014
Notes: OC (2). Lightly scuffed capsules, very lightly scuffed labels.
