PNP into Grassl Liberte glass ("Leaf" to "No" day): Deep rose to the eyes.
Rich caramel, smoke, rose petals, complex ripe citrus fruits like grapefruits, blood oranges, stone fruits like apricots, red cherries. Brioche, potpurri. Significant development in glass.
Strong streak of minerality, acidity, well integrated and textured. Rich and complex persistent finish.
Still needs time in cellar in my view and seems less rich on the red fruits compared to the 2015 tasted before. 95 points.

LC11. Drank it over two days First day - floral and mineral nose, precise and crisp acidity, raspberry and citrus on the palate. Second day - acidity softened a bit but still solid and nice, more marmalade driven fruits flavour, modest sweetness on the finish.

LC11. Needless to say, this is certainly my top favourite champagne producers of all time. So floral, red flowers, rose petal, Sakura, cherries nose, on the palate, elegant fruits and acidity. Great wine.

Pretty, bright, low key. Very nice. No vegetal notes like a lot of 2011s. Best in near term.

Very solid and balanced with potpurri, rose petal and stems. Agree with the comment that it is a very burgundian champagne.
