9.2

Lemon and brioche. More oxidative than the Charles Heidsieck that this replaced. Yellow fruited, nutty, brioche, smooth champagne with tiny bubbles and a refreshing finish. This Champagne can hold for another 15 years easily. This is a good wine but very different from the Heidsieck that is actually more to the neutrality line than I was expecting. This wine is clearly on the oxidative side.
