  A very pleasant bottle of champagne. Starts off with notes of citrus, vibrant, green apples and brioche, almost combining into lemon tart on the nose. Carries most of these flavours to the palate, where the acidity blends it all wonderfully together. Slight hints of tertiary aromas on the palate, with nougat and a very mild hint of caramel to round it off. Good length and balance.
  This wine undergoes partial malolactic fermentation, which is noticeable (and against my preferences), but luckily not enough for it to be a problem for my personal preferences.
  All in all a very good wine, will still keep for multiple years, but drinks wonderfully today as well.

  Textbook blanc de blanc. Chalky, minerally, fresh, oyster shell, good brioche but more about the mineral-drive. Long finish but slightly bitter. Objectively a good wine but I think there's better around.
