(Disgorged in fall of 2010) Yellow colour with a small stream of tiny bubbles. Nose is showing a mixture of hay, minerals and citrus. Palate shows tropical fruit and vanilla fudge with a rather short oaky finish. This feels very mature for the vintage already, not sure if they had bad grape selection or what went wrong with this cuvée?

Nose was full of young tropical fruits, some rubber and smoke, with minerals and after a while some freshly ground coffee came around. Had something funky as well underneath it all, that somewhat disturbed and reduced the overall impression. On the palate this showed thin, dry and a bit dilute, short and with somewhat unripe green apples, vanilla, and an unpleasant bitterness present. After a while it became sweeter (too sweet for my palate), but still very thin and missing the cut and body. Conclusion: too sweet for me, and missing body and structure, and also the trademark 2002 fine acidity. (83 – 86)

A very nice fresh, light and very fruit forward champagne enjoyed yesterday on the Lufthansa cross-Atlantic flight from Munich to Charlotte NC. Effervescent, light yellow with greenish tint, very small bubbles, nose floral and bright, primary flavors included lemon grass, citrus and a hint of honey. Recommend this.

Wine Education Service - Champagne: Very pale with large bubbles. A very youthful nose. This wine is far too young and may improve with age, it's just not ready, at present it's all mousse.

Straw yellow colour. Still quite fresh. Some citrus. Marzipan. A bit too sweet for our liking. Gift from SW

en riktig skitchampange tycker jag,
doften är citron och pappkartong, smaken är bitter med ek päron mm. verkar inte klara ålder så bra.
