This is the big brother of the Juve y Camps Vintage, a slightly different blend and more time in bottle. Its a blend of 40% Macabeu, 20% Xarel-lo, 40% Parellada aged in bottle for a minimum of 3 years. The destinctive packaging has to be a big plus, retro with a touch of class.
Light gold in colour with a fair wack of bubbles. The flavours are in the apple and lemon spectrum, with some notes of white peach, baked buscuits and toast. Crisp and fresh in the mouth, showing balance and just the right level of acid. It finishes off clean and a apple/lemon sorbet note lingers on after the glass is finished. Excellent. 92 Pts.

I lied this, from memory I gave it 90 points. A good change-up from regular Champagne’s like Moet, etc.
