Community Tasting Note

Richard Nabavi Likes this wine:

Saturday, February 13, 2021 - Good healthy 'pop' on opening. Mid-golden colour. Good, fine mousse. Superb on the nose: complex notes of hazelnut and a citrusy freshness, with some underlying but not over-prominent oxidisation. Excellent on the palate, rich, complex and biscuity, with oxidised notes but kept fresh and in balance by the acidity. Lovely, long aftertaste lifted by the tingling bubbles.

As others have said, this is a champagne to accompany food. It was a magnificent bottle to accompany our Rick Stein delivered-to-home lobster thermidor - a perfect pairing. It was still in very fine fettle, although arguably might have been even better four or five years ago. Drink now whilst it is still delicious.
