(Disgorged November 2018, base year 2016, 40% Pinot Noir, 10% Meunier and 50% Chardonnay, dosage 7 gr/L) Herbs, smokiness and hints of banana sweetness as it opens up in the glass. Lovely bittersweet acidity from yellow plum peels and with a very lengthy finish showing kaffir lime leaves. A bit “messy” in a nice and pleasant way that will reward some extra cellaring… (Probably best with 3-9 years extra cellaring)

Well balanced, concentrated straight forward champagne, good pear early summer blossom, some acidity making it a versatile Chinese canton food companion.

Lots of toast and yeast on the nose. A fascinating nose and palate.

A good reasonably priced bubbles. Nice fruit on the nose and well balanced. Not super complex.

Mørk rugbrødsagtig, surdejsnæse, der går igen i smagen. Serveret til kartoffel og bacon. Ikke et superhit hos mig.
