  4th of seven bottles since 2021.
  
  The Pinot Noir base (75%) provides plenty of body and structure and the Chardonnay juicy freshness. Wonderful balanced palate with lemon peel, mild acidity, yeast, biscuit, and nuts.
  
  Constant rebuy if on sale (~25€).

  From 75cl, LH C LAX-FRA. This reminds me of Moet's NV Brut, but sweeter: anodyne character, low acid, high dosage—or perhaps there wasn't much actual taste before the sugar went in. The first time I can remember declining an offer of a second glass of Champagne... 84P

  Sample tasting at work (Oinoscent): Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims, Chardonnay from Cotes des Blancs, 12%, sampled from magnum
  The wine shows freshness, ripe citrus, tense, yeast, broad, welcoming, glazed almond, dried citrus, stone fruit.
  Palate is juicy, citrus notes, peach, apricot, nice carbonation, tense, juicy, long finish

  Surprisingly for a dominant Pinot Noir, what comes first is the zesty flavour
  bubbles are very present as well at the opening. It gains in finesse afterwards.
  Will not be my first choice.
