Thursday, February 5, 2015 - The wine is clear and bright with a pale lemon colour and presence of small bubbles.

The nose is clean and developing, showing medium intensity aromas of green fruit (green apple, pear), citrus (lemon peel), MLF (cream) and yeast (rye bread, brioche).

The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium(+) refreshing acidity. It has a medium alcohol and a medium body with a creamy mousse. It has medium(+) intensity flavours of green fruit (green apple, pear), citrus (lemon peel), MLF (cream) and yeast (rye bread, brioche). The finish is medium(+).

It is a very good quality wine. It has concentrated flavours balance the acidity and a persistent finish. It also shows complexity in the nose provided by autolytic notes, but a better example of this style would be even more complex.

Can drink now, but it has enough acidity and flavour concentration to develop some more complex tertiary aromas 2-3 years after disgorgement date.
