We don't drink a lot of real champagne, but from my perspective this was a fair value. No wet sock for me either... just a fresh nose with a light citrus, toast, and mousse profile. Medium finish with an authoritative fermata. Fine step up from Mumm blue label for us. Tiny bubbles. Perfectly paired with fried shrimp.

From a half bottle and probably just OK storage. Nice fruit and nose. I agree with a previous taster, there is a nuttiness (hazelnut?), with brioche, and good fruit intensity. Fig, yes, that is it. Nice quality, the bubbles did not persist much from this half bottle, but I will definitely try more from well-stored 750's. Recommended.
