Medium straw with green tinges. Nice persistent perlage and pleasant creaminess. The nose is pure bliss. Caramel with butter, apricots and pears, honey and apples. Fragrant floral notes along with warm brioche and sea spray.
A very stately and baronial wine from Chouilly in the Côte des Blancs. Rich and well developed at this point. The minerality is so good and the acidity just right. Precise and concentrated with all the depth that you would expect. Very lively and powerful.
The palate follows the nose with honey dipped apples and cinnamon. Chalky notes mingle with the electric citrus fruit. Long, long finish that just keeps going on and on. This still hasn’t hit its peak, it has miles to go. — 8 months ago

On the downside while still maintaining great effervescence. Honeyed citrus, pollen, and hazelnuts. Takes on more oxidative Sherry notes as it sits in the glass. Delicate. — a year ago

Very high in its acidity and tonight too much for my liking. In the nose loads of bruised apples. — a month ago
