Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 12, 2015 - Quite intense yellow-green color. Rather muted nose with vague aromas of ripe citrus fruits, a little bit of autolytic toast and a subtle hint of sweet apple jam. The wine feels ripe and fruity with rather predictable flavors of something between unripe green apples and tart citrus fruits along with a hint of sweeter white fruits. The medium-long mousse feels aggressively fizzy at first but settles down quickly to gentle prickle. The wine is moderately high in acidity. The finish is crisp, mineral and quite high in acidity with medium-long flavors of tart citrus fruits, some green apples and a hint of whitecurrant.

Ho hum. As predictable as Blancs des Blancs go. High acidity, quite racy, tart white fruit, very little to no toast. The mousse is lacking finesse and feels more fitting for Sprite than Champagne. A very simple and quite reliable entry-level BdB that really doesn't offer any surprises, but doesn't really fail either. Extremely harmless and one-dimensional.
