March 13, 2024 - Pol Roger Wine Society 150th Anniversary Tasting (Churchill War Rooms): Dosage 34 g/l. Pale colour. No sweetness on the nose. More balanced, less sweet on the palate than I expected - it's only really the aftertaste which is sweet - there's a great deal of acidity to balance the sweetness. More a curiosity than something I'd choose to buy, but a well put together drink.

October 9, 2023 - Le Tour de Champagne tasting (Amsterdam, NL): Normally not a big fan of non-dry champagnes (this has 54 g/l residual sugar), but this was nice and balanced

August 8, 2023 - Had this as a digestive after A LOT of wine. Deep golden in the glass with persistent bubbles. Nose is marked by notes of canned peach, nectarine, poached pear, yellow apple, vanilla. Medium-bodied with moderate acidity and a fair bit of sweetness. Not entirely balanced, but not off track either. Easy to drink Champagne, but not a repeat for me.

December 2, 2022 - Buttery, brioche, peaches. Sweet. Good balance between the sweetness and acidity of sweeter citrus eg red grapefruit or blood orange.
Enjoyable drink for a celebratory occasion and a conversation starter due to the sweeter nature of the Champagne which is much more unusual nowadays.1 person found this helpful Comment
