November 11, 2023 - Annual Champagne Tasting (November 11 2023): Blend is 100% Chardonnay vinified in oak barrels from 3 to 5 years old; 50% reserve wine aged in barrels; aged for 3 years on lees. Color is a yellow-gold and some hints of green. On the nose, a pleasant and light minerality, apple, and pear. Orchard fruits and chalk carry over on the palate. Fresh finish. Very pleasant for one of the houses cheaper offerings.

December 10, 2022 - Fin syra, frisk och härlig känsla men skulle må bra av en längre tid i flaska. Ingen överdrivet lagringsbehov, men att komma lite mer till ro vore bra!
Lätt oxidativ ton som balanseras upp med en elegant autolys. Ekfatsanvändningen är kännbar men definitivt inte överdriven. Riktigt bra vin! -

November 7, 2022 - Pale and frothy. A surprising note of fresh pineapple jumps out for a few minutes then fades, to be replaced by chalk and citrus. Light in body and modest in length but a decent sipper.
