Excellent blanc de blanc. One of the best I tried from a weak year (2005) lots of fat creamy hazelnuty toffee. I think this might be on its top. Lilbert does it again

En mycket torr och stram champagne med flinta, stendamm och krut. Anar också lite rökighet och nötter. Gräddigheten som brukar känneteckna viner från Cramant saknas helt. Öppen och perfekt att dricka nu även om några års lagring säkert inte skadar.

Pale gold. A touch of crème pat on the nose, the chalky grip of its youth is softening. Crisp and fresh with a slight creaminess to the mousse that follows through on the reasonably dry finish. Fully ready. ****

Good, but not great. This has been in my cellar for at least 3 years; don't know otherwise when it was degorged. Fairly oxidized for a 2005, not necessarily in a bad way, but would drink this over the next couple of years assuming similar degorgement.

Remarkably bready and yeasty with faint nutty and oxidative accents around ripe apple and pear fruit flavors. Not my style of Champagne, though others enjoyed more.

Christmas WIMPS - Champagne (The Ledbury): Orange peel on the nose, more intense but not better really, deeper fruits but lighter than the 02, 04 and 06, will be a (rare) younger drinking Lilbert.

Pale gold. Nicely resolved. Some crème pat and a fine chalkiness. Lovely. ****

Still young, beautifully knit together but should have 5 more years of improvement to go. Hard to resist

Fizz Club @ Fish Club (Fish Club, Clapham): Lovely creamy, chalky minerality and finesse with a nicely developing creamy, coffee cream palate finesse and depth. ****
