At a great place now and probably at peak or just past it.
Well evolved. Soft, round, toasty, nice rich feel to it , decent acidity but this is more of round and giving wine than a focused and precise champagne at this stage. Not as great as the ones we tried back in 2017 ( Papies 93-94) but still very solid. Drink sooner than later.

True to is style and consistent with about 2 years ago, this is a rich, round, toasty champagne, very much a bollie style but the extra time on Lees add even more depth albeit takes some of the focus. This is now drinking very nicely offering a solid experience when one is looking for this round, rich , toasty and givign style. Solid 92-93
