From magnum. Shows a very light salmon-copper hue. Very tight and reticent on first pour with some lemony citrus notes. With an hour of bottle decant, it’s generously showing red berry fruits, hint of butterscotch and oven fresh croissant. Beautifully long with a wonderful richness for a no dosage. Why is champagne always better from magnum? Everyone loved this.

Brilliant, and in perfect shape for current consumption. Exotic ripe kumquat and other orange fruits, very saline, subtle richness and good persistence. Bone dry but not severe due to all the fruit. Wonderful with gildas and other snacks, and crushed a 2002 Dom served alongside. Either my palate or this wine has shifted since I last tasted this, probably both. I am learning that many brut nature Champagnes I found screechy on release evolve quite positively with five to ten years of additional age.

Tørket frukt av aprikos og daddel. Ganske frisk og smidig i munn, Pen men enkel. Medium kons og lengde.
