A bright light straw color in the glass. Sparse bubbles that seem to dissipate rather quickly. The nose opens as shy at first before developing into a bountiful peach harvest. There is a whiff of brioche bread but it comes and goes quickly. Plenty of citrus notes to be found especially as time goes on.
All first press juice from Grand Cru plots in Avize, Oger, and Cramant. Vines that go back thirty years. A zero dosage Blanc de Blancs is right up my alley. Despite the no dosage, there’s a distinct lack of zip here, along with a touch more sweetness than one would expect. Restrained acidity but a really nice mouthfeel. Disgorged in January of 2018 after being bottle aged for 18 months.
Smooth and easygoing in the mouth. A little off dry. Chalk and slate initially. Orchard fruit thereafter. Green apples abound along with almond slivers. Perfect as an apéritif. Exceedingly pleasant.

Lovely champagne, fruity and brioche tones. Has multiple layers in the mouth, yeasty, ripe mangoes. Dry on the palate. No surprise considering it has 0 dosage.

Light straw color. Limoncello, touch of lime, fresh cut grass. Beautiful bubbles. Delicious.
