Drank over two days. Strong green apple notes, lychee, some minerality, but lacks depths right now. Revisit in a few years

Red Apple cider, a little floral, maybe some jackfruit, banana, dense, almost feels like it’s tannic. Very interesting

Mandarin orange crème brûlée, strawberry, grapefruit juice, really tasty. Flavor and balance is awesome. Palate could use a bit more weight and richness to push it to the highest levels. But delish nonetheless

Light color and light body. Bit too subtle and light for me. Fresh berry, green pepper, tomato stem, no tannins

candied peaches, bergamont earl grey tea, clay, a bit of lime pithe at the end, definitely has some residual sweetness and confectionary stuff going on despite being 12.5. Good stuff

A bruiser for sure and would be cool to see what it’s like with more time. Menthol, nutmeg, olive brine, bacon, a tinge of rotting meat, funk like Jamaican rum (long pond TECA mark),

Lychee, mineral, a tinge of petrol, and then it melts into a wonderful richness that has a hint of butter with thyme steeped in it. Really had a cool evolution over two days and as it warmed. When it was cold it felt disjointed but at around room temp on day 2 it was awesome

Refreshing, creamy, buttery, nutty like a macadamia nut croissant. But still has apple and orange peel acidity. Lovely stuff

Pretty classic champagne with a twist.

brioche, baked apple, honey, but these a layer of under ripe strawberries, mangosteens, lime pithe. The combination make me this quite enjoyable. I prefer this to the les vegnes 2018 ( meunier ).

Favorite of their standard NV I’ve had. Slate and mineral and lime pithe when fresh and cold. As it wardens it got notes of mandarin oranges and over roasted almonds

Not for me. The end has a tin butter bite I don’t like and the beginning Feels too light and airy to justify such a bizarre finish

Fruity jammy for a champagne. Reminds me of saft (Swedish syrup drink) but still refreshing.

More acidic and petrol than the trimbach Riesling to my taste. Probably less balanced too but I still prefer this hugel.
