Lovely 1er Cru wines, real class (and longevity) with the Ile de V. The 59 simply stunning for what it is. The Cortons, for me, we're hard work with little return. Muscular, surly and lacking Grand Cru density, class and excitement - happy to pass. The best English fizz I've tasted too - proper champagne style and quality. Thanks too all, as usual.

Blind. Nicely rich on the nose. Honeyed and mellow. Rich, rounded with a nice spice towards the finish. Just enough acidity too. A mini Bollinger in style. Wow, best English fizz I've had - really didn't stand out as non-champagne. ****
