A rather distinctive rose gold hue in the glass. Plenty of bubbles that just don’t stop. The introduction to this champagne is stellar with a blossoming of orchard fruits and floral aromatics. Green apples and raspberries for days. After some time you’ll find a really pleasant touch of lemon and butter.
A producer that I’m absolutely falling for. Well crafted stupendous champagnes made with obvious care. 100% Pinot Noir from Villers-Allerand. Zero dosage and disgorged in late 2022. Thrilling acidity with tension and drama for days. Obviously so very young but also so ready now.
Complex and deep, this is a wine with personality. Power and so much sense of place here. Apples, lemon zest, and orange peel on the tongue. Brioche and cherries shine here. The finish is long and lingering. A beautiful, beautiful champagne. — 8 months ago
