Better than the Billecart Brut. More precision with finer bubbles. Bruised green apple, bruised Bosc pear, citrus blend with strong tangerine presence, dried pineapple, honey, butterscotch, cream soda, citrus blossoms, lilies, baguette, slivered almonds, brilliant acidity & fine powdery chalkiness w/ a long round fresh finish that holds.

Summer udon and electric Blanc de Blancs. When this first landed it seemed a little dilute given the quality of the dirt (mid slope Mesnil, Oger and Cramant), the age of the vines (40+ year massale's) and the quality of the domain. Now that it is sold out, I can see that this was just youthful tightness. This subtle, chalky, dry grand cru will make very great old Champagne.
