Flight 1 (5 Notes)
Closing
Champagne usually delivers more weight that other contenders. I am pretty sure no one else noticed the differences between different bottles.

Slighlty coarser on the bubbles than Moet, and a touch drier, but similar intensity and weight.

A touch higher r.s. on the dosage, in a way to balance the intensity of the palate. Finer bubbles create some luxurious feel, but again felt it manipulated and confirms my 'no buy' bias.

Probably was the best of all, dry, fresh and focused, with decent weight and intensity, what I would expect from NV cuvees

Fine lemony freshness, good balance. You can tell straight away is different from champagne due to more fruity oriented appearance. 12.5%

Crisp and fresh, with subdued strawberry notes. Quite dry and easy to drink, not the most expressive and intense palate though. 12%
