Boxed together for $240.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJean Pernet farms in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, and these are blanc de blancs in the strict sense: all chardonnay, all grand cru fruit, all from a single declared vintage. We have the 2009, the 2012, and the 2013, and we are boxing one of each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA vertical is the only way to taste what a vintage actually does. Same village, same grapes, same hands. What changes is the year and the time in bottle, and with Champagne that difference is not subtle. Open them side by side and the 2009, the warmest and most generous of the three, will not taste like the 2013, which came from a long cool season and kept its edge. The 2012 sits between them and is the vintage most people who follow Champagne got excited about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYou can drink them in one evening with four people and a plate of something salty, or you can put them down and open one a year.
