Nose is very floral, like white flowers, with lemon, apple and baked bread.
Floral element carries through (florals remind me of Gewurz) on the palate with flavours of green apple, lime/lemon, fresh dough and some hazelnut. Acidity has a lot of zip. While the acidity is very high, overall the wine is fairly balanced. Has a med-long lime and green apple finish. Good quality champagne, would prefer more baking note complexity to round out the profile. — 11 days ago

2018 base. 4 grams dosage and disgorged 4/22. Nose is all wet earth and yeast. Lemon peel, toast, citrus (tangelo?) skin as well. Really nice, layered and complex aromas. Lonely, mineral and tree bark aromas as well. Palate is juicy and clean with explosive lemon and grapefruit citrus fruit and terrific purity and freshness. Good sap and very clean. Needs air as I reckon this has more to tell. Nose gets some saline as well with air and the palate becomes juicier. It’s very good but so far not special. Really has good palate presence. — 5 months ago

Have not had in 4 years and as brilliant as ever. Unreal freshness and acid. Lush, rich, energetic and long. Nose is a stunning perfume of slate, green apple and wet earth plus citrus. 9.9 nose. So juicy, decadent, honeyed and refreshing. So so insane. — 8 months ago

Very well balanced semi-dry. Has the zesty, moderate acidity of a dry Riesling to show off minerally and lime zest notes. Finishes sweet without being cloying. — 5 months ago

Nose : slight oxidation.

Palate: mineral and acidic. Get some lemon fruit as it opens. Some almond. — 9 months ago

This was great with the meal. Lighter yet complex fruit and not much pepper at all. — 3 months ago

Light, translucent gold color. Massive pencil shavings on the nose with subtle petrol and stewed pineapples. Sweet pineapples on the palate with medium plus depth. Medium finish. Very nice. — 5 months ago
