Notes from the producer

Partnered with Thiénot, a respected player in the world of Champagne, Penfolds instigated hands-on involvement throughout the tirage storage to create an extraordinary Vintage 2012 Champagne. A Champagne worthy of celebrating Penfolds past, present and future.

Making an immediate statement, the nose is alluring, rich and opulent. Scents of crème brûlée and toffee-apple preside, coupled with subtle fresh tobacco leaf and unfurled honeysuckle. Even and assured all the way across palate, a fruited-sweet attaqueis followed by seductive acidity. Complete, pure and latent. Peak drinking now – 2040.
