  Racy fruit followed by a peppery finish. Very smooth and elegant.

  La Fête du Champagne Grand Tasting (Pier Sixty - New York NY): Walkaround tasting with the producers. More black than red fruits, very attractive aromatically but more backward and brooding on the tongue. Good density. Better from 2030-.

  Medium body. Nice spice and dark fruit, I think black berry, on the palate. Still structured but with nice fruit and depth, as well as balance. This is drinking very nicely now but will be amazing in 3-5 years. Aside a grand cru this will fall quite short, but on its own it’s quite great.
