  Our starter champane. At a very ripe level. Typical CdC nose, a lot of vanilla, nuts creme brulee, yellow fruits but a lack of acidity so the aging potential of this wine will be not for the eternity. nuts and honey in the finish but in a matured way. at his peak

  Again a wonderful Comtes. This one didn't even seem fully mature. Lots of fine bubbles and acid. Toffee, coffee, nuts, citrus, dough, chalk and bread. Light yellow/greenish color.

  Am I really the first to taste the wonderfull wine! Well, I am afraid I only had the one my self. But what a wine. It's evident it's not a great year. But never the less a very lovely wine. At it's peak right now I would say. Coffee, green apples, toffee. Mousse is medium. Light green/yellow color. Not a ´96 or ´95 but very drinkable just less overwelming.
  
  Saved the half with my new Champagne stopper overnight. And even here the evening after, it is still very good. Bubbles faded a bit, but the taste just as good if not better
