Rose gold in colour. Green and candied apple; lemon is pronounced on the palette. Fresh baked brioche. Absolutely delightful champagne!

@Delectable Wine : This is the Shaman 17. I didn’t see it in the database.
Oxidative aromatics (like a sliced golden delicious apple that has been on the counter for a few hours); has that lean, grower “Caramex” aromatic too; golden raspberries, mineral, limestone, and pear. The solera profile comes through on the nose but not much on the palate; there’s very little (if any) sulfur added (and zero dosage), and based on profile, I think these are best consumed on the younger side. If you like grower champagne that has a vinous/white burgundy like feel, this fits the bill, but I think just a few grams of dosage could balance this out in a big way.

Golden copper in colour, so pure & expressive on the nose.
75/25 PN/Ch blend with zero dosage, disgorged in Oct ‘21
Fresh strawberries & wild strawberries, a touch of cream, crunchy red apple, fresh sourdough bread in the background, just a tiny pinch salt & spice.
Amazing creamy mouthfeel! Layered, rich, juicy, so complex. Tiny persistent bubbles, great depth. Red apples, hazelnut brioche, a savoury, slightly salty finish with amazing length.
Unbelievable that this is zero dosage! It’s so complete, rich, delicious!
What a wine!
Beautiful sipping!
