Pale to mid straw. Freshly cut red apple with a hint of crème pat behind it. Mid weight, nicely rich, the 8g dosage feeling quite prominent at the moment. A lightness and elegance despite the weight of fruit. Very drinkable, indeed almost too drinkable in that a bottle opened to provide an aperitif across two days appears to have evaporated inside 30 mins. ****

Dinner with Friends (R&R's): Light golden yellow color with notes of apple, almond and ginger. Orchard fruit, ginger and brioche on the palate. Fine bead with balancing acidity. Very nice. 92-93 pts. (R&R)

This bottle tasted a little past its prime unfortunately. Still incredible layers of chardonnay driven flavors, that are even more deep and evolved than before, but they are offset by a loss of a bit of its effervescence and energy that it had in its youth. It's certainly personal preference whether the deepness of the flavors or the vibrancy is more important for a champagne but I would personally recommend drinking this sooner rather than later.

Slightly oxidative in style, beautifully balanced. Notes of brioche and apricot.

Complex and perfectly balanced. More than decent length, mature but still very young, this is really an excellent bottle.
