Disgorged 20. October 2006; very deep and complex and full of flavour; "white burgundy with bubbles"; expressive and powerfull; harmonious and in perfect balance; it tasted of ripe apples, honey and orange and the finish was very, very long. Luckily I have quite a few bottles left which I will drink over the next 5 to 10 years. This wine certainly improves with ageing, adding additional flavours and complexity. Not cheap but certainly worth it´s money. Don´t drink too cold, 14 to 16 celsius is fine and open the bottle 1 to 2 hours before to give it some air.

Hot and alcoholic, jammy, lack of structure, precision and freshness, this is unbalanced and almost port like, short finish, tannins have gone and wine is past it´s best; a lot of people probably like this style but I don´t. Unfortuantely I still have a lot of bottles to go through ....

very fresh and clean, fine bubbles; this is a fantastic non-vintage champagne from a small producer and worth every penny!
