In the glass, medium gold with a slight copper tint. On the nose, tropical fruits and yeast. On the palate, somewhere between medium and full bodied, with lemon, baked bread, currants, and lavender well balanced in the mix, and moderate acidity for a crisp but not biting finish.

Very precise palate, laser cut, with notes of jasmine and white fruits. Citrus fruits develop immediately after in the second curtain with a chalk that will gain in scale. The juice is massive but very fresh and precise. Nice saline and chalky finish.
An excellent champagne.

Litigators' Wine Dinner (East Treasure, Clarke Quay, Singapore): This was very enjoyable - definitely more opened and developed than 2 years ago. The nose had a characterful melange of yeast and mineral undergirding light, dancing notes of white fruit and citrus zest, maybe a sweeter touch of cherry flesh around the edges. The palate was even nicer. Fine mousse, nicely citrus acidty, and then round notes of juicy berry flesh lined with a lovely minerality, all this leading into a nice lemon zest finish. Not the most complex, but certainly not simple either. This was delightful in the way that the best 2008s are - sleek, polished, defined, yet wonderful open and delicious.

Drunk out of Zalto champagne glass. With a little air this shows earthy bread aromas and, finally, the weightless creamy mouthfeel that previous vintages (2005 and 2006) had. Maybe it due to the glass, used here for the first time. Notes of caramel in the finish, though the dosage is only 3g/l. Texture is wonderful.

Floral and chalky nose.
Very precise palate, laser cut, with notes of jasmine and white fruits. Citrus fruits develop immediately after in the second curtain with a chalk that will gain in scale. The juice is massive but very fresh and precise. Nice saline and chalky finish.
An excellent champagne.

This shows some maturity, it is quite open and shows its dark aromas in a harmonious frame.
