Finally came around with some time under its belt. A bit bracing when I first bought them.

2006. Disgorged April 2009. One of the first Champagne producers I felt an affinity for. This is the VR version of an Apple pie baking in your oven.

Mealy nose with notes of grilled lemon, white chocolate and chalk dust, expressive & really quite opulent with almond pastry on the nose. In the mouth there is a soft mousse with a fine, soft attack that mellows on the mid palate then fans out on the finish with pear & green apple fruit and a long, saline minerality.

Last chance for this cuvée! Bérêche is discontinuing it, and increasing production on the Brut Réserve. Fortunately, the Brut is also excellent.
