We were very fortunate to come across the half bottles, (35cl/350ml), on our last trip to Champagne. The same Coste Beert that you know and love, but in half bottle format and, importantly, with 4 years of bottle age.
If you wanted to know what delights can be found in bottle ageing Champagne then here you have it! Beautiful front end full of the crisp green apple found in its younger sibling but with a touch of yummy brioche. The palate feels much rounder and richer than its sibling which gives so much more depth to the mid palate and elongates the finish. Such a wonderful experience from a relatively modest exterior!
