One of the most viscous champagne I’ve had, looks like a thick white burg as you swirl it in the glass. The nose is full of honey, apricot, honeysuckle, lemon pie, and enormously vinous and muscular, propped up by a searingly acidic spine. Such a powerful and tensile champagne and will be even better in time.

Bursting full of ripe yellow fruits, yellow apple, banana, lemon curd, very saline, and lots of reduction from entry to finish. A lot of oomph here. With that said, this maintained its balance really well and didn’t come across as overtly warm or hot, got nice acidity to hold everything together. Certainly one of the more delicious New Worlds I’ve had of late

The 13 Vireuils is showing decently well today with some notes of reductive gun flint, iodine, white flowers, lemon curd and yellow apples. Needed some air to coax the aromatics and got there in an hour. Light to medium gold, with a hint of development. With that said, I do find that this lacks abit of oomph at the moment, possibly a vintage thing.
