2023/4 holidays. Classic and wonderful - hugely aromatic, hints of flor / salinity but lots of nutty, caramel and dried fruit character give a sense of sweetness though the wine is dry, making it a great partner for aged hard cheeses. Good balancing acidity too. — 4 months ago

This wine has a burnished look, deep brown. The nose is a treat all on its own. There are aromas of brown sugar, coffee and orange zest which combine for an amazing olfactory experience. The palate is just as joyful, with caramel, raisin and mocha notes. The acidity is fresh and exhilarating. Although the wine is described on the label as “cream,” it does not strike me as creamy. The viscosity is nice, though. It will pair well with dessert, or serve as one by itself. — 3 months ago
A really pretty medium old gold color with an interesting and lovely nose featuring plenty of citrus. Citrus for days. Green apples and perfumed flowers. There’s even a little touch of caramel going on here. Magnificent.
When one says that a wine is alive and vibrant, this is what they mean. Mostly Pinot Noir from Verzy with an Extra Brut dosage. Half is from the 2015 vintage and the other half from from a solera established in 2010. Electric acidity and full bodied with plenty of depth. Amazing how it develops in the glass over time. More green apples on the palate along with cherries and herbs. Long and delicious, a wonderful champagne. — 5 months ago
