Eye: Pale to medium yellow
Nose: Brioche, green apple, lemon.
Palate: Good balance of sweet and sour. Brioche, lemon, lightly reductive; even a touch of flintiness.
Finish: Light citrus pith. Almost a faint touch of pomegranate.
Overall: A little sweeter than I prefer, but still a much better grande marque offering than Veuve.
NB: Drank from a quarter bottle.
