  Medium golden hue
  
  Med+ intensity in the nose with aroma's of Peach, pear, fig, brioche, vanilla, cantucci, almonds, marzipan honey, caramel, marmalade - it just kept coming!
  
  In the mouth dry with good (high) acidity, medium alcohol, medium bodied with a refined mousse. Med+ intensity
  
  Flavors of ginger, brioche, pastries, vanille a bit of butter but again honey, dried apple, cinnamon.
  
  Long finish
  
  Overall an outstanding wine! Will be buying more. Was a NV but had it in my cellar for 2.5 years and it did not show that age at all, stellar!

  Last of my 1997 vintage bottles (not declared on the bottle), purchased in 2013. Still in great shape and wonderfully balanced. Masculine style, barrel fermented. Carbonation was still quite nice despite its age.

  Although not vintage labeled, the bottled consumed was from the 1997 vintage. This was a bit overpowering when purchased in 2013 but cellaring has let it blossom into a masterpiece. One of the best Champagnes I've tasted. Masculine and bold, but balanced and nuanced as well. I hope the 2002 version is as good.

  Lovely and dry, beautiful champagne with great complexity. The oak fermentation lends weight and body, definitely worth trying as the top-flight cuvee of a small producer.

  Consistent with previous bottles. This is barrel fermented and leans towards the richer end of the spectrum and is very successful in that Bollinger, Tarrant, Krug style.
