  7/4/2023 - Venice Al Likes this wine:

  Fairly full bodied as the red grapes show their stuff in the mouth. Still good acidity and pretty dry.
  
  Nose of apple, cherry, fig, some yellow peach, brioche, hazlenuts, and lemon- with nice minerality. Would stand up to an array of foods that don’t need that huge chablisienne/ bdb minerality- Lobster, most fish, poultry, pate, and pork. Probably not what I would pick for oysters.
  I very much enjoyed this as it is serious champagne at a daily drinking price.
  
  Contrasting info re blend: 40, 30, 30: 50, 25, 25? Not willing to research further.

  Bright lemon with some apricot character coming through on the nose. The wine had bright acidity, but has some interesting oxidative notes coming through as well. While it lacks the mineral qualities or depth, it reminds me a bit of Krug 170eme. Not bad for 1/7th the price.
