Pale straw lemon color with frothy mousse and lively bead of bubbles, long lees aging. A nose of fresh fruit with yeast, nutty notes and floral scents. On the palate flavors of peach and citrus flavors with biscuit tones. Nice balance with acidity, delicate textures, medium+ finish ending creamy with toasty oak and chalky mineral character. Pair this with shrimp cocktail. — 6 months ago

So many bubbles! Really impressive. Very complex. Cream, brioche, citrus, good amount of saline, herbal honey, honeysuckle. So well integrated at this moment. Better with 3 hours of air and closer to room temperature. Long finish with lemons, almonds, tangerine, bit of grass. Definitely one of the best champagnes I’ve had. — 4 months ago
