This was a really nice bottle of wine. Very fine bubbles with a nice bread/nutty profile, and a little bit of lemon curd in the background. It's in a great place, though I'll let me one other develop a bit and check it later.

The vintage-dated 2009 was stellar, this was not. It had a sour, sulfurous nose that carried through to the palate. The acidity was somewhat harsh and unbalanced the wine. I wished for less acid (for a change) and more ripeness. Disappointing.

Chilled for 45 minutes then opened. Very clean, crisp bouquet of green apple, bosc pear, with a touch of raspberry and strawberry too. On the palate the red fruit comes out in spades, buttressed by vibrant acidity and a bit of cake frosting richness. Overall this has excellent balance and structure, is super clean and unoxidized, and finishes with a crispness that I found immensely appealing. Fantastic QPR.

The first nose evokes linden an hints of bread, lemon zest , a creamy aeration to notes of toasted ,a very elegant and stony.

Brödig palett som är aningen tråkig. Saknar syra för att ha balans. Detta ger ett ganska enkelt vin som troligen inte kommer nå så mycket högre n

From memory, did not take notes.
Personal, smoky nose with some sweet liquorice, pear sorbet and galio melon. Good acid with nice body and also fine length on the finish.
A very good champagne

No formal notes. A broad, bready Champagne with nice toasty richness on the nose, creamy mousse, and robust fruit on the palate. Great value.

Something was off, the aroma was reminiscent of a musty locker room.

Good solid champagne. Quite toasty with a strong backbone and some acidity - probably a food champagne.
