RIP Paul. This champagne is gorgeous. One hundred percent pinot this is a banging champagne that I not only love bit love to drink. The carmal and purity of this wine mark it as one of pedigree. Stunning effort I wish I had more.

Like carbonated fruit loops at first, but settles into something much more interesting. Loads of ripe strawberry, baked bread, and a hint of honey. Good acidity, and refreshing finish.
