This is in wonderful shape. Soft with gentle acidity behind it. Lush red berries, brioche and a gorgeous sweetness on a long finish.

Oct 18th, 2020This is wonderful stuff. Lots of secondary notes with hints of Orange peel and brioche over a lovely supple core of sweet lemon scented acidity. This if complex but still vivacious and very long. Great stuff.

Oct 20th, 2019Medium gold but looks youthful in the glass with steady fine bubbles. At first it’s youthful and one dimensional with notes of bread, citrus and apples. With an hour of air it gains complexity with ample acidity and develops a pleasing creaminess. Resembles a nicely aged Chablis. Palate coating long finish. In a great place.

This was extra gear! My #2 champagne of opening night in San Antonio. Astounding focus, bright honey, lemon oil and brioche.
