Ripe white peach, baked apple and candied citrus bring richness and freshness to this beautifully mature Champagne, complemented by notes of toasted brioche, roasted hazelnut and delicate spice. The palate is layered and elegant, with fine, creamy bubbles, vibrant acidity and a subtle chalky minerality. Hints of honey and pastry add depth, leading to a long, refined finish.
Produced by Paul Bara in the Grand Cru village of Bouzy, Annonciade is a prestigious vintage cuvée that showcases the house's traditional approach to Champagne. The exceptional 2012 vintage brings together concentration, freshness and complexity, offering a beautifully balanced Champagne with impressive depth and ageing potential.

James Suckling, 95/100
James Suckling, 95/100
Complex and slightly oxidative, showing lemon curd, leesy brioche, quince and grapefruit peel with layers of strawberries. Light-bodied, this has very fine mousse and a substantial yet tight and zesty palate. Long finish. A blend of 50% pinot noir and 50% chardonnay. Drink or hold.

Vinous, 94/100
The 2012 Brut Annonciade Grand Cru is a blend of equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, vinified and aged in barrel. Rich and sumptuous in the glass, the 2012 is impeccably done. Apple tart, white flowers, vanillin, apricot, truffle and a kiss of spice lend a decidedly exotic flair. Dosage is 3 grams per liter.
