Nice. Lots of micro, fine, precision bubbles. Leans just into a soft oxidative style.

Slightly bruised, apple & pear, touch of apple cider, lemon chiffon/meringue, understated pineapple juice, tropical melons, lime zest, white stone fruit, fluffy whipped cream, bread dough, white spice, some oyster, sea fossils, crumbled limestone, sharpe toned, chalk powder, white spice, dry top soil layered over the top, excellent acidity, nice, round, evenly tensioned, well balanced, elegant finish that lasts two-minutes and lands evenly on fruit & earth.

Always a zesty texture. Best showing bottle I've ever had. Citrus galore, energetic acids, and vein-y mineral streak throughout.

A new favourite, raw power and intensity, zesty citrus notes, saline line, with acidity that storms through the mouth. Am looking forward to trying it again and again

Delicious and perfect with ME/NS/PEI oysters on the half shell. The brininess matched the wine's fruit and acid very well.

Hidden gem in Champagne: natural wine-making, killer Blanc de Blancs with so much minerality

Wild, vinous, and much like Chablis once the bubbles have subsided a bit.

Gosh that was great. Ripe fruit with sheer minerality as the backdrop. Quite lovely.
