Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 13, 2015 - Quite deep green-tinted lemon color. Clean, focused and refreshing nose with rather light aromas of lemony citrus fruits, steely minerality and some fresh apples with only a hint of toasty autolysis in the background. Light-bodied, sharp and focused on the palate with flavors of ripe citrus fruits and green apples, steely minerality, some grapefruit pith, a little floral complexity and a hint of toasty autolysis. Bright, racy acidity. Crisp, tightly-knit and long finish with bright flavors of ripe citrus fruits, pithy grapefruits and green apples with a hint of apple peel bitterness.

A bright, clean and focused Champagne with more emphasis on the purity and structure than on autolytic complexity and weight. Terrific balance. In its current state this is a wonderful gastronomic food wine for entrées, but perhaps a bit too austere a wine for toasting or meditative purposes. However, I can imagine that with 3-5 extra years in a cellar will give this wine some welcome additional nutty complexity and richness. Priced according to its quality at 39,90€.
