Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 6, 2014 - Deep, mature golden yellow. Intriguing, complex nose of pronounced, bready toast, cream, dust, yellow apple, some honeyed oxidative character and a savory hint of fudge. Tight, taut and bone-dry taste profile with piercing acidity - yet there is a sense of richness underneath: honey, roasted nuts, tawny-esque syrup and burnt sugar, both bitter and saline minerality, some baked apple, spicy wood tones and a hint of ripe yellow fruits. Medium-bodied mouthfeel with soft, creamy mousse and tightly woven texture. Very long and cool finish with saline minerality and greenness reminiscent of cucumber, cream, some roasted nuts, hints of oxidized apple and slight waxy nuances in the complex, crisp aftertaste.

Extremely balanced, nuanced and structured Champagne with noticeable yet quite restrained oxidative and oaky characteristics. Youthful overall appearance with lots of potential for further cellaring. Expensive (~100€) yet not overpriced. Me likey, thoroughly recommended!
