I would prefer to drink the 2015 over the near and medium term

This is terrific and should age accordingly as it’s very firm and compact

Georges Laval, Garennes Extra Brut Brut Zero I would prefer to drinkThe NV (2022) Extra Brut Garennes is a very pretty, aromatic Champagne. Kirsch, dried flowers, mint and spice add an exotic flair throughout. The super refined mousse is perfectly matched by the wine's lighter structure. There is a touch of volatile acidity that is not uncommon for this style of Champagne done in barrel with a significant percentage of perpetual reserve. The Garennes is a beautifully understated Champagne, more finesse than power.
