Sunday, January 1, 2012 - Bottle disgorgement date June 2011. A deep yellow gold. Looking at the colour, one would have guessed an old vintage. Fine mousse. On the nose, sherry, hazelnuts, yeast notes and orange peel. Quite big, poured this into a larger glass, and it started opening up more. Tastes like an old chardonnay. Vibrant acidity, brut, excellent length on the finish, 30 seconds or more. Not your normal champagne. Makes you imagine you're sitting in a leather armchair in a club with a jazz band playing.
