  • Janda_42 Likes this wine: 89 points

    March 17, 2024 - Eye: Pale to medium yellow

    Nose: Brioche, green apple, lemon.

    Palate: Good balance of sweet and sour. Brioche, lemon, lightly reductive; even a touch of flintiness.

    Finish: Light citrus pith. Almost a faint touch of pomegranate.

    Overall: A little sweeter than I prefer, but still a much better grande marque offering than Veuve.

    NB: Drank from a quarter bottle.

  • BottleScholar Likes this wine:

    March 2, 2024 - Dried lemon peel, crème brûlée, mild toastiness, ripe peach, yellow apple, vanilla, pastry dough. Soft, light, round, creamy, lively mouthfeel. Only the slightest sweetness on the finish. Fresh, reductive style. 36% PN, 36% PM, 28% Chard. Full MLF. No Oak. 24 months on lees. 7 g/L. Roughly 37% of 1-3 year old reserve wines. -Much from WSG Champagne class with Essi Avellan
