Pale gold in the glass with medium effervescence. The nose is superb with a bit of mint and white flowers initially. Lemon and lime with slightly roasted almonds. The citrus aromas and minerality are fresh and lovely here.

A Blanc de Blancs with power, purity, and poise. Delamotte always provides such a pleasant pour but their vintage offerings are a step above. Though this is young and has many, many years to go, it’s still generous and inviting. The acidity is just right, as is the precision. The complexity is there but will evolve over time.

Stately and regal in the mouth. Plenty of tension and drama. The citrus notes take charge on the palate along with apples. A little yeast and wet stone. Salt and butter. A fine, young champagne. Elegance and deliciousness abound and it’s just going to get better from here. — a month ago

Blend of 55% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Meunier, pale lemon color with aromas of citrus, floral and biscuit notes, fine bubbles and light mousse, on extended lees aging. On the palate flavors of crisp apples, peach and lemon notes, savory mineral, complex. Long ending with fruit and slight toasty biscuit character. — 5 months ago

An impressively attractive salmon colored robe with lively effervescence. The nose is amazing. Just the right amount of everything good. Red apples and underripe cherries for days. There’s an undercurrent of spice throughout this champagne starting here that’s positively lovely. Peaches and pastries, along with a touch of smoke.

Predominately Chardonnay from Côte des Blancs with a smattering of Pinot Noir. In the world of non vintage rosé champagnes, this stands near the top. Elegant and dry, there’s outstanding balance here and it improves in the glass over time. Restrained red fruit on the palate with some citrus peeking through. More spice on the long finish that leaves you wanting more. A superb champagne. — 6 months ago
