Medium gold. Pronounced nose of brioche some funk, on the palate high acid, medium alcohol, full body. Apples almonds, ginger, more oxidized than I prefer, very restrained bubbles, long finish. It packs intensity on the palate but also finishes kind of soft. Good.

Chalky and saline enough for oysters. 2016 base and disgorged 2020, so some time to settle which is important for champagnes. Previous bottles were tightly wound and had an acidic streak; this one is just about in the zone with evident aromatics and nice palate texture.
Bottled May 2017, disgorged February 2021. Quite golden, and not very fizzy. Open, airy nose. Creamy, and with a butterscotch note that then developed through the midpalate into something sharper and greener. Lingering (but not especially delicious) finish. This doesn't seem as straightforwardly tasty as the 2022 disgorged version.

Great chardonnay elements, ripe citrus, creamy, all the goods, light mousse. Disgorged in 2017.
