Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 13, 2017 - May 2016 disgorgement. 80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, dosage ~5g/L. Light Lemon-yellow in color; nose is moderately aromatic, slight bready/biscuity, bruised apple, slight lemon; palate has vibrant mousse, bruised apple here as well, high minerally acid, slight tart lemon, lovely fresh character but also with style and density, midpalate loses just a bit of length; finish is medium length at most, a bit shorter than expected given the complexity on the nose and palate. Overall a nice champagne with good balance and excellent character, excellent value for the price, and may improve over years, but I may like the Bulle de Rose just a tad bit more. 91-92+, but on the lower end of that for today.
2 hours air: Develops more of a richness and brioche with air. This is continuing to improve.
Day 2: Similar to yesterday, with a nice brioche toast on the nose; palate has retained plenty of bubbles but also a nice balance between richness and freshness; finish consistent with yesterday with perhaps a bit more flavor but still a slightly restricted length.
