Quite rich and fruit driven. Elegant all the same and lacking the overt wood tones of my last bottle, perhaps just a difference of context. This is a very pleasurable, very drinkable wine that has enough complexity to provide a lot of interest, and I liked it a good bit, but it is not a terroir laden bottle by any means.

Tropical aromas of fresh bananas and coconut. Medium weight, fine concentration. Like a weightless Meursault. Much better than the last bottle, which showed oxidative tones.

Second time with this producer and wine, previously the 2005 and now this 2006. Both have been consistently delicious, striking a fine balance between ripeness of fruit, inner richness, and supporting acidity. A touch of well-integrated oak and a very light oxidative note but neither detract.

Första omdömet, lite besviken, bra toner, fina mineraler men smaken är lite tunn och saknar pondusen jag funnit i tidigare årgånger. Inte alls lika uttrycksfullt som tidigare utan snarae lite platt. Är det en årgång som ska ligga eller var jag bara på ett fel läge. Vet inte men de tidigare har imponerat betydligt mer på mig

Stunning nose. Exceptionally precise on the palate for such a young Champagne. Upside potential, will drink another bottle in the near future an will follow the rest over the next ten years.

Loaded with nutty lemony goodness with a creamy middle and crisp finish, this is in prime time now.

Can´t help thinking about Selosse. Excellent concentration and finesse!
