I opened this alongside a 2012 Cedric Bouchard Bechalin BdN, Krug 167, Vilmart Coeur, and a 2014 Christophe Baron.

After having the 2013 Laherte Empriente about 6 weeks ago, I was curious to try this. This took the best parts of the Empriente (aromatics of spiced Granny Smith apples, honeysuckle, Carmex?, and chamomile), and improved on the parts that were lacking (more robust, fleshed out palate of lemon confit, herb crusted yellow fruits, lemon cream spread over English biscuits, and truffle honey). This leans oxidative (on the palate) without the sherry notes aromatically. The lean and racy style in regards to dosage is much more in harmony than the Empriente (which came across as too dry and in need of added dosage). This improved as the night went on (expected for a 2015 champagne), so enjoy now if you have multiple or hold for a few years. Definitely buying more. — 4 years ago

Not too much depth, thin even for a muscadet. £9.99 apple sherbert, good acidity. — 9 years ago

This is the last bottle of a summer case wine. The lemony citrus with a great crisp finish. "This go to" wine was great with anything from the sea! Also a good value. — 12 years ago
