Friday, February 22, 2013 - disg 12/2011. tasted just below cellar temp in a burgundy stem.

deep golden yellow hue. nose of beeswax, a hint of citrus intermingled with red fruit, peach pit (?), a touch of white flower and a deep cut of chalky minerals. on the palate this is rich and round bursting with fruit but with nice cut from the acid and a mineral finish.

this is great champagne. it juxtaposes so much i like about champagne. the freshness of young wines with the hint of oxidation and richness you get with aged bottles. it has the minerality and cut of its BdB lineage but with a depth of fruit that rivals good BdN.
