Mid gold. Fine mousse with pronounced minerality. A blend of the classic Champagne varieties - usually around 70 Chardonnay 30 Pinot Noir. Palate of Green apple and lively acid. Excellent fizz. No more cellaring required. The vintage as indicated by the label is 2005 not 2013.

Beautiful, clean, light acid with a touch if mouthfeel. Fantastic tiny bubbles. And incredible wine.

Wonderful stuff. Rounded and soft, brioche, pear, lemoncurd, yeast and some savoury, sweaty accents.
Very generous, lots of depth, great wine to drink now.

2007 Vintage - really nice for the price point. Lots of the usual Champagne notes...brioche, a bit of yeast, even a touch of honey or creme brûlée.
