Another bottle of this, another great bubbly. This domaine ain't sexy, but man was this good. Straight down the middle stylistically speaking, with great volume and intensity. If you are looking for exoticism or novelty in your champagne, this will be guilty of boring you with its predictable competence but it is otherwise this is undeniably excellent and in a great spot. Will hold for a good while yet, but I like it now for its freshness. 93-94 pts.

Mature, in the evolved sense, but also in the harmonious sense. The freshness is in perfect harmony with the mature white, yellow, orange citrus fruits. It's the persistence, almost in a mouth-filling way, that really captured my attention. Just delicious now, and for the next couple of years. A really good start to a fun evening. recommended+

Really fresh and not showing any age yet. Bread, lemon, pears and melon. Some saline on the nose. Very nice indeed. Will save my other bottles for at least 4-5 years,

(Magnum late disgorged in September 2019) Typical for the house showing black currants and gooseberry and smokiness on the nose. Very pleasant and creamy palate showing a nice acidic black currant fruitiness. (Best 2019-2032)

Surprisingly pleasant. Saline, lemony, slightly sweet. A crowd pleaser.
