All of my favorite things - lots of tertiary - hay, bruised apples, chamomille, fresh bread - complex & delicious - def a champagne to ruminate over - perfect for a bittersweet occasion! ❤️🌴🏠

8 years on lees. Disgorged in July 2014. Golden in color. Toasted brioche, a bit of a nutty finish. Crisp. These should be consumed in the next couple of years, at least for my palate. Enjoyed with lobster risotto.

Brioche nutty rancid characteristics. More Pinot noir than Pinot meunière.
