Dried caramelized apple, toasted granola with honey and lemon zest. Rich mouthfeel and finely structured mousse countered with uplifting acidic tug and melting mineral. Excellent length. This is such an insane value. An unique expression of the Loire that can compete with most grower champagne in quality.

Banana, guava, grilled peaches, smoke (possible oak?) on the nose. Peaches and guava continue on the palate with a really nice autolytic style. Rich mouth with a soft mousse and some level of lees aging. Great bottle to throw in a lineup of other Champagnes to challenge palates. Drink now when you have the chance.

Excellent sparkler! Great floral but also balanced nose. Palate that's firm in body and acidic yet good fruit. Long finish.
