  Pretty good but without any wow factor. The definition of 90/100 in our mind. Nice on the nose, smoky, nutty, light yeasty. The nose is the high point of this champagne. On the palate it is firm, with good acidity, sharp blanc de blanc but with. Nice roundness on the finish. 90

  medium yellow in the glass with a high number of small bubbles.
  Nose has burnt butter caramel, honey, and brioche.
  Has some sweetness on the palate, but a mid palate, which is too soft for my taste. Acidity is relatively low. The after taste is not particularly long, but fairly filling. Quite easy drinking, but pleasant.
  I doubt it has a long life ahead of it, but it drinks well now.
  2/3 = good to very good
