Intense, powerful / bread, orchard fruit / drinks almost like Bollinger? Dare one say?

My absolute fav for NYE! This eats most Champagnes for breakfast!
Disgorged Jan 2020, classical PN, PM, Ch blend.
Beautifully aromatic with brioche, toasted hazelnuts, grated lemon peel, candied orange, ripe red apples, red soft fruit, a tiny hint of mushroom. Stunning.
On the palate nice froth, tiny, persistent bubbles, gorgeous mouthfeel.
This is a stunning wine!

Dec 31st, 2021Classic blend of CH, PN, PM, 1/3 each. 60+ months on the lees, disgorged Jan 2020.
This is complex & quite profound. Nose shows terrific tension between the lemon, lemon peel & kumquat and the toasted brioche with fresh hazelnuts & freshly made creme brûlée.
Lovely mouthfeel, v. creamy & quite rich yet impeccably balanced with electric acidity, super fine froth and a hint of minerality in the background. Great depth, purity and precision, but most of all, finesse.
This beats most Champagnes flat out.
A truly great wine!
