The Champagne cuvée Réserve Grand Cru are a great success, with the nose of almond, very out of fruits, proportioned well, delicate and rich in mouth. The Bouzy rouge 2000, coming from a not éraflée vintage, nice garnet-red robe vivid, dense, scented (notes of bilberry and very characteristic undergrowth).
