Lovely interpretation of the Carricante grape. Very saline and flinty with a kind of Riesling acidity but on the other hand also some volume. Even better with food.

A lovely interpretation of the Pinot grape. More red fruited on the nose with a charming influence of the oak. Still noticeable. But not too much. Pure and very drinkable on the palate. Nice showing.

I couldn’t agree more with the tasting note before. A wonderful fresh wine with a certain taste from the place it was produced. Very fine and super drinkabel.

I'll have to try to find some of the others you listed in the 2015 vintage as well.

Could I recommend trying different champagnes with different grape proportions to identify which style you prefer. Eg Moët & Chandon is predominately black grapes (Pinot Noir & Pinot Mineur) whilst Taittinger has more Chardonnay. Personally,I prefer Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay) or champagnes with a higher perportion of Chardonnay in their blends as I find these more elegant. Take care.
