Disgorged 7 Nov 2016. Drinking superbly - compelling nose with citrus highlights, complex flavours but very harmonious - multi-layered loveliness! Has evolved beautifully over the last 3 years: no hurry but gorgeous now

Blanc de Blancs over lunch (Summer Pavilion, Ritz Carlton, Singapore): The third BdB on the day - this was actually a pretty nice NV, but suffered from being served after a fabulous 1990 Dom Ruinart, and a young but lovely 2013 Pierre Peters Chetillons. A bit like being a knife at a gunfight. Still though, this was enjoyable. Disgorged in 2020, it had just a smidgen of age to it which showed up in some bready, yeasty notes on the nose alongside fresher green apple aromas. The palate was fresh and lively, with a bright mousse wrapped around flavours of lightly juicy green apples and ripe lemons, and then a nice twist of savoury, almost salty minerally at the end. There was surprising bit of grip on that finish. This was good drinking - quaffable, simple maybe, but with a good depth on it for an NV.

Loved this wine. Tart apple, lime, a bit of sour cherry, very fine bubbles and an incredibly long finish. Great mouth feel and structured. Really a pleasure to drink. Brought a smile to my face.

Elegant nose and palate. Green apples with some bread notes. Good balance, freshness and lenght.

Light yellow; reductive style, citrus, bready, long aftertaste; improving after a bit of air
