2004 Jean Milan, Grand Cru, Blanc de Blancs, Vielles Vignes, Terres de Noël (RT94) I bought a case of this beauty on release many years ago and this was far and above to most developed, enjoyable bottle to date. An elegant, pure expression of Chardonnay that has fleshed out beautifully since release and is now in early maturity. Notes of white peach, a touch of smoke, almond, lemon curd and pear. The mouthfeel is linear and focused, but still holding back a bit for future development. Impressive purity of fruit! Drink now-2034+
