Liked this so much! Very good and strong nose of ripe berries + moderate sweetness, balanced with perfect acidity level = an excellent example of good fun maker. Sparkling wine must be sweet! Otherwise there is no fun...

A nice surprise, this bottle was purchased in 2006 so has 3+years of bottle age on it. The mousse is very fine and plentiful, though it has lost some of its power. Creamy mouthfeel, it really coats the palate with very fine bubbles, notes of fresh bread and cake and enough acidity to make it a good aperitif. This was a tremendously pleasurable champagne, yes sweeter than the current fashion but very fine.

CHE88 Disgorged in 2008 and a little bubbles. Sweet candy, ripe mango and smoke muksun at the end.

Raspberries and elderflower, with a note of citrus. Sweet and tangy in an unbalanced way - few of us wanted a second glass.

Wine Education Service - Champagne: Pale with plenty of bubbles.
A delightful nose.
Delicate sweetness, not cloying, lacking length.
