The Last Champagne Charlie
Made in just five vintages before the cuvée was mothballed, the 1985 is the last of the original Champagne Charlies. Forty years of gold in the glass — mushroom and caramel below, bergamot slicing through above.

Half the blend is reserve wine averaging a decade in age. In a category where 'non-vintage' is usually shorthand for the current harvest with a little help, that is a different proposition entirely.
