Bottled July 2022, total production 2996 bottles.
94 William Kelley, Wine Advocate
This bottling is reliably the most ‘Burgundian’ of all the still wines produced in Champagne, and the 2020 Coteaux Champenois Ambonnay Rouge Cuvée des Grands Côtés Vieilles Vignes is certainly no exception, delivering aromas of dark berries mingled with spices, rose petals and toasty oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and gourmand, with a layered core of fruit framed by rich, powdery tannins, it is just at the beginning of a long life. 12/2023

Like a long-buried treasure
Covered in mud and moss
For a moment, it's hard to tell if it's the depths of a muddy swamp
Or the damp rainforest
Gloomy, gray
Can't touch it, can't see itIndeed, decant is needed
An hour later at the restaurant, after three rounds of drinks, it's opened againThe swamp turns into a flower field
The rainforest turns into an orchard
In the flower field, immature girl dance
Each glance arouses the boy's hormonesEvery smell, every sip, intoxicated within
Time unknowingly passes another hour or two
The flower field gradually loses its colour
The orchard withers once again
And this bottle of wine completes this unique journey of life3/24/2024
