Superb Bechalin and showing more ready than the 2014 I had last year. Red apples, mirabelle plum, mandarin orange, lemon tart, lovely brioche and finishes strong. Cedric Bouchard’s Blanc de Noirs are up there amongst my favourite champagnes out there.

Hawker night at Caroline's: Brought for a friend. Clean, precise red apple fruit, but a little strict and austere at the moment. Very tightly-wound so would recommend a decant or leaving it for a few more years.

The most perfectly clean expression of pinot noir that I have ever tasted in a Champagne. It showed through. Almost too much for my liking. Some time may add some complexity to this wine, but don't hesitate to drink up if you love the purity of fruit.

Nick's Burgundy evening at 64 Goodge Street: Lovely nose, very Champagne, lots of warm bread and toast vibes. It did not look especially bubbly in the glass yet on the palate this fizzes with incredibly intensity. Takes your breath away! Baked apples, ripe and crisp red apple skin like that first bite, flowers and grass, and then with time in glass a grapey aroma and taste comes to the fore and the fizz has reduced. Really rather exciting stuff, a treat to try. I think this was a 2020 disgorgement.
