Likes this wine:

Saturday, July 29, 2023 - Yet another new batch for me. The usual 2011 base, 20% from solera, dosage 3.3g/l. This time disgorged 10/2021.

It seems to me that as the time on lees the richness is slowly increasing. This bottle has a very rich buttery nose, with some notes of honey.

On the palate there's a very nice balance of brioche, citrus, creamy, apples, lots of different notes coming to the fore with each sip. Overall there's a slightly less toasty/yeasty element than previous batches which I sort of miss, but this is a bit different, not worse.

The finish is clean, crisp, and just slightly drying.

This continues to be a main house champagne for me and excellent QPR at ~US$37.
