Named after the Roman god of wine, this rare vintage cuvée is produced only in exceptional years. It showcases the estate's commitment to old-school winemaking: 100% of the base wine is fermented and aged in traditional oak casks (foudres), followed by nearly two decades of cellar aging on its fine lees in bottle before a dry Extra Brut disgorgement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2006 \"Cuvée Bacchus\" is mature, vinous, and deeply layered. Dominated by Chardonnay alongside Pinot Noir, two decades of development have endowed the wine with profound tertiary complexity: dried apricots, candied orange peel, roasted hazelnuts, white truffle, honeyed brioche, and smoky oak, finished with a creamy, gentle mousse and a long, saline chalk backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRare prestige vintage Champagne with nearly 20 years of cellar development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% oak cask (foudre) base wine maturation provides profound micro-oxygenated depth and texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntensely complex tertiary bouquet of roasted nuts, dried fruits, white truffle, and toasted brioche.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe slightly warmer than typical Champagne, between 50°F and 54°F, to allow its mature, complex layers to unfurl.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo decanting required; allow it to open slowly in the glass over 30 minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour into all-purpose stems to concentrate its mature autolytic and oak-aged bouquet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with truffle risotto, roasted lobster, seared foie gras, or aged Comté cheese.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47909012373558,"sku":"SOMM2609-CEF06BAC-750","price":327.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2006ChampagneCharlieretFils_Bacchus_ada2b360-4204-49c2-b451-2373b90128e1.png?v=1790625098","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2006-champagne-charlier-fils-cuvee-bacchus-extra-brut","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
