Tasting notes
Disgorged in July 2019, Gratien's 2013 Brut Cuvée Paradis opens in the glass with youthfully reserved aromas of citrus oil, fresh bread and crisp green orchard fruit. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and seamless, with lively acids and a pillowy mousse, it's a bright, nicely balanced wine that should take on additional complexity with a bit of bottle age.

Gratien's 2013 Brut Paradis is creamy, resonant and inviting. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint, baked apple tart, vanillin and lightly honeyed notes all meld together in a soft, expressive Champagne that is ready to drink now. All the best elements of the Gratien house style come through in the supple, open-knit 2013 Brut Paradis.
