Dunkelgelb/hellbräunliche Farbe, zurückhaltende, feine Kohlensäure. In der Nase und im Mund intensiv nach überreifem gelben Apfel; "Apfelweincharakteristik" mit einem Tick Champagnereleganz.

Golden yellow, very low dosage. Terrific mouthfeel. Nose w ripe red apples, honeysuckle, sweet wheat dough, some dried apricot, marzipan and even a faint whiff of arrak. Palate is mature and complex w preserved freshness from the low dosage. Minerality, acidity well integrated. Very nice.

Saturday night at The Papies (The Papies, Elizabeth St, London): Quite a bit of colour bit nowhere near as dark as the glorious 2002 we had just before. Good ripe fruit on the nose, light toasty, rich wine. A soft of medium wine, with good acidity and although not a flamboyant champagne ( in terms of richness) still a very elegant and wonderful wine. 92 and has good life ahead of it.

2010 Masters of Wine Champagne Tasting (San Francisco, CA): Straw yellow color. Nice full apple nose. Medium bodied fruity apple palate with a little bit of supporting biscuit and mineral notes. Nice medium-long finish. The preponderance of apple here – on both the nose and palate – make this somewhat one-dimensional and a bit disappointing for a Grand Cru Champagne. I have difficult seeing much – if any – potential here. While nice and certainly enjoyable, this vintage Champagne is a definite pass for me.

I found this to be very pleasing. Packed with lovely decadent fruit. 2000 is an underrated vintage.
