Stunning bottle. Yeasty with sliced almonds. Everything perfectly in balance with a great richness and purity of fruit. Feels like this can still age for years but irresistible now.

Beautiful. A very precise at citrusy champagne. Other CT notes about citrus ginger resonate with me. Still has plenty of life ahead of it and I would love to drink this again in a few years.

Absolutely gorgeous! What you’d expect from a high quality aged champagne—yeasty, great full mouthfeel and delicious bubbly flavor.

Whichever CT review said buttered almonds nailed it. Beautiful wine. It is powerful yet restrained throughout. Very fine bubbles. Excellent value.

Power and maturity. Bold and beautiful. Buttered almonds with a touch of gingered citrus.
